Delay to to resume scanning?

[dreinhart99]

Hi

New G5 user.

I've looked in PPS and have a series of frequencies as part of a P25 simulcast system.

I have enabled TGID Hold, but I'm looking to be able to change a setting to have the frequency it just hit hold a bit longer before resuming scanning.

Is there a setting under "Binding Fear Setting" that would do this? Reset Mode is on "Auto" currently.
Is it Selective Timeout Reset or Monitor Manual Reset"? I did try the Monitor Timeout Reset and did see the 30 second countdown start but it still seemed to go the another frequency instead of holding.

Not well-versed in this unit, so forgive me if I'm missing something obvious.

Thanks

Unfortunately, the Unications have never had a scan delay. I've always wished for this. Once a transmission ends, it's off to the next transmission. In 3, 2, 1, ... someone's gonna tell you "it's not a scanner".

That's because it was meant to be a pager for FD use and is really meant to stay on 1 TG.

Delaying scan on trunked channels is likely to result in missed transmissions, unless you want to stay on a control channel longer before scanning off to a different system.

Thanks you and understood.

Thank you. Understood that it's not a true scanner, I just like it compared to the SD100 for footprint, screen, battery life, etc. Transitioning to this from my SD100 and don't expect all positives, but one can hope!

Huh?

No, I think it's that not having a delay causes you to miss transmissions because you may not hear replies of what you're listening to. And it's not the control channel we're trying to stay on longer, it's the TG (or maybe conventional frequency if not trunking).

No delay feature, You just have to be quick on that hold button!

Scan delay does not apply to talkgroups. That is a different parameter and has different names depending on who made the receiver. Scan delay is for conventional scanning of frequencies.

Are you sure about that?

But this is talking about the Unication G4/G5 I thought, at least it is in the Unication thread.

True. I was just replying to the comments by @DaveNF2G that delay doesn't apply to trunking TG's in any scanner.

What I said was that SCAN delay does not apply to talkgroups. Holding on a talkgroup for any length of time is a different function.

Ok.

Unication devices are built to monitor one system at at the time and best for monitoring a simulcast system (Less is More). G4 and G5 screens are much smaller than SDS 100 and display less information, however these devices are built like a tank and the batteries last a full day. As mentioned before, the target market for these pagers are mission critical personal and truly cannot be compared to a consumer grade scanner. Having said as a scanner listener, I use my G5 more than my SDS200 as it never misses a key up.
