I saw a post earlier about "squelch tail". I have end code enabled but am now noticing "squelch tail" following analog trunking activity where I created a new "department".
Using Sentinel, I created a "new" department to separate the "routine" fire talkgroups on a system from the "fireground" talkgroups. First, although Sentinel seems to allow me to select 1 or more rows of talkgroups and Control-C (or right-click Copy) from the existing department list and then Control-V (or right-click paste) them into the new department, this doesn't seems to do anything. So, I manually recreated them in the new department and manually deleted them from the old department. I don't understand why the cut/paste functions are available if they don't work.
Of course, there may be a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do - and I'm sure someone will let me know very quickly the "error of my ways". I'm learning more and more about the quick key options and see alot of flexibility in the QK feature. There may be something in there to accomplish this without creating new departments. My concern with the QKs is inadvertently disabling something and not knowing it ("why is my radio not working right?")
It would be REALLY nice to have a "Quick Key decoder" (display a "you've programmed these systems/quick keys this way") that then allows you to print that cheat sheet out for later reference. EVEN BETTER, it would be nice to have a better user interface to see the entirety of your programming and be able to view/print/set the quick keys for the some amount of your programming (per favorites list?).....
Anyway, at the moment, it appears that the new talkgroups I created have this "squelch tail" problem while other testing ones do not.
After more testing, I'll update.
