Bctools

I downloaded BCTOOLS and paid for an upgrade on radioref so I can download the freqs, it seems to work good, i just dont know how I should organize them for easy access. I understand the quick key for the system but not for the sub systems... Example I want a system called Phoenix PD as #1 and then the areas under it such as West City, Central etc being other numbers... Or should I just do sites for them also?

Set it up like this:

System quick key 1 - Phoenix

group key - 1
C6 North TAC 2962
C9 North TAC 2959

group key - 2
C5 Central TAC 2963
C7 Central TAC 2961

group key - 3
C4 South TAC 2964
C8 South TAC 2960

group key - 4
A4 South 2996
B4 South 2980

group key - 5
A5 Central 2995
B5 Central 2979

group key - 6
A6 Northeast 2994
B6 Northeast 2978

group key - 7
A7 North 2993
B7 North 2977

group key - 8
A8 Southwest 2992
B8 Southwest 2976

group key - 9
A9 Northwest 2991
B9 Northwest 2975

group key - 0
Other Random talkgroups.


This will mimick how the actual PD radios are setup. Back before the PRWN system came online channels 1-3 used to be 'chase 1-3'. This setup reflects that. Not to mention all of the precincts will be at there proper group key. This radio is perfect for setting up this system for easy monitering.

Ok if I am scanning a System such as System quick Key 1, how do I turn off / on grp keys? If I press 1 - 2 it only does it for the systems.
