Hello there. This is coolguy. I have some questions about how to do some things with this type of scanner. Since I just got it yesterday. And I never had this kind of scanner before.
1st: Is there a way you can just scan the TALKGROUPS and just listen to those like for example: 8608 and listen to the whole conversation on that TALKGROUP or no. If there is, I haven't figured it out yet. And I obviously don't know how to yet. So any help would be really appreciated.
2nd: On the main control channel here in Chapleau. When ever I do a search range between: 140.000 - 144.000. And when it pauses on that Control Channel for a few seconds. I do see some talkgroups show up. When I see them, I hold on that Control Channel, so I can write that TALKGROUP down. Then I press MENU, Scan Option, then Trunk, then Select my bank, then #3 for TALKGROUP. Finally I add that TALKGROUP along with others that I find into the TALKGROUP Location. After that I dunnno how I am supposed to use those TALKGROUPS or what it is supposed to do when I put them in there. Let me know.
3rd: Right now I am just hearing all the conversations on the other Channels such as: 141.930, 142.065 & 142.275 while I am in ID SEARCH mode. When I am listening to the one active channel, as soon as someone stops talking on that channel, it will switch to one of those other 2 channels. Then I will get to hear the continuation from that conversation on that other channel. So is that normal or is this the way it is supposed to be. Let me know.
4th: On those 3 channels that I mention above. When I hear talking on there. Would that be the TALKGROUPS I am hearing. Because I have no indication of what TALKGROUP(S) are being used when I hear the talking going on. It just shows 1 of those 3 channels from what I mentioned above, that the talking is taking place on. So if there is a way to show what TALKGROUP(S) are being used when I hear the talking. Let me know, because I would really like to know.
I will be waiting for any replies to this E-mail with help. Thanks.
