Hey Guys, Im sorry I have been busy and still haven't had a chance to try loading those files but I will in the future. I am okay right now anyways with my local fleetnet, im listening to my area as I type. I am able to hear police in Michigan from harrow as well yes. I do want to ask you guys if your able to assist me with preemptive priority...I currently have two talk groups in my system. EMS and OPP. I want to be able to prioritize OPP over EMS and cant figure it out. I set OPP as a priority and turned on Priority Mode. Here are the lowsy directions I followed:
Priority/Priority ID/Priority Plus Scan Contents
Priority Scan When the scanner is scanning a conventional system, it interrupts scanning (based on the priority check interval setting) to check priority channels for activity. The more channels you have set to priority, the longer the interruption will be. The scanner is unable to scan over 100 priority channels at once. The quick keys for the system(s) and group(s) containing the priority channel(s) have to be enabled (and unlocked) or the scanner will display 'Priority Scan No Channel'.
Priority Plus Scan The scanner only scans priority channels in (unlocked) conventional systems with system and group quick keys enabled.
The highest priority is for channels in system/site and group quick key 1. The lowest priority is for channels in system/site quick key 90 and group quick key 0. Priority for priority channels in the same channel group follows the order in which the channels were created.
Priority ID Scan This function is similar to conventional priority although there is no interruption during the transmission. Priority ID Scan is always on for a system if enabled in the system setting. Priority is checked in between transmissions, when the scanner is receiving the control channel, and during the channel delay period. The scanner can only look for priority IDs in the trunked system it is currently scanning.
Preemptive Priority Preemptive priority is a feature that works on Motorola systems. If the Motorola system has priority channels, and you assign one of those TGs as priority in the scanner, then when one of those channels becomes active, the scanner will jump to it even if it is on a different system voice channel (i.e. it preempts your current reception). This feature relies on the system itself having talk groups assigned as priority (so the active channel information is included on voice channel low-speed data). If a talk group you assign as priority is not also a priority channel on the transmitting system, then the scanner will use standard trunking priority for the talk group.
To Use Priority Scan you must first set your priority channels.
To Use Priority ID Scan you must also enable Priority ID Scan for each system.
To Edit Priority Scan Options press MENU. Scroll to 'Priority Scan' and press E/.
Scroll to the options below and press E/. Press Scan/Srch to return to scanning when done with editing.
Set Priority sets the priority mode. You can also toggle these modes by pressing PRI in scan mode.
Scroll to 1 of 3 options and press E/.
Off - the priority feature is off.
On - the scanner checks conventional priority channels, and priority IDs within systems that have priority ID enabled. PRI appears in the display when you select this mode.
Plus On - the scanner only scans the conventional priority channels. PRI flashes in the display when you select this mode.
Set Interval sets how often the scanner will check the priority channels.
Scroll to 'Set Interval' and press E/.
Enter the number of seconds (1-10) and press E/ to save and exit.
MaxCHs/PRI-Scan sets the maximum priority channel numbers that are scanned during one priority scan interrupt. If there are more priority channels than the value you select, the channels are divided into more than one group and the scanner scans each group in turn. For example, if you set the maximum channels to 20 and there are 100 priority channels, the scanner checks those 100 channels in groups of 20 and takes a total of 5 intervals to complete the priority scan.
Scroll to 'MaxCHs/PRI-Scan' and press E/.
Enter the number of number of channels to check (1-100) and press E/ to save and exit.
