You may have been correct after all -- the radio possible not reporting the correct info (sounds like you were thinking that the two IDs would reflect what is patched to what)

I suspected it was a patch, but also wanted to be sure that it was displayed correctly. So it looks like north and south are patched. I have something similar here, but the TGID actually changes over after 6:00 PM.

Is there no way to edit the name of a Favorites List? For instance I originally created as NJ State Police but I want to change it to NJ Police Statewide (including interop frequencies and the like). I know how to edit names of systems and departments but can't find how to do it for the favorites list?

Dave and Dave thank you! I was looking for almost 20 minutes. Completely missed that other line of icons. Sorry!

I'm here a lot
Marshall, I see from the pic that you've left the LCD screen protective film on the display. I do the same and leave it on until the thing curls up and falls off. :lol:

Yeah. Plan on getting an actual screen protector before the end of the weekend.

Can't Hear Unprogrammed Users

On a P25 trunked system, if I program in a unit ID/alias I can hear the unit transmitting. If the user ID/alias is not pre-entered I cannot hear transmissions from the user. I am sure I have some parameter wrong. Any thoughts/help?

If you are trying to hear all activity on a system, including activity on talk groups not programmed into a channel on the scanner, you need to be operating the scanner in ID Search mode.

Thanks for the quick reply! It is not a TG ID issue. I have the TG ID programmed and all of the testing is being done on the same TG. It is the Trunked ID of the transmitting radio.

Essentially, when I have no radio IDs entered in the codeplug and the radio transmits I hear nothing. If I enter the ID of the radio and then load up the codeplug it works like a charm.

Is the answer the same? The scanner must be in wildcard mode to hear EITHER unprogrammed TGs or unprogrammed users? Is there anyway to have the scanner receive only programmed TGs but to receive all users even if not programmed?

...now, wouldn't it be nice to have the radio or software automatically do that for you? I'm just sayin'

Or it could be left as a user choice and can be added when doing the programming, as KE4ZNR has shown...

I am going to close this thread up now. Please start posting your questions individually in the forum rather then the sticky.

I will place this thread and the 436 thread in the Faq and info sticky for reference.

Thanks:cool:
