Good afternoon.....

So here is the thing that is driving me nuts trying to figure out.

I would like to know which "site" or "tower" I am on while scanning trunked system.

For example I have maybe (10) or so "sites" in my favorites list. I know that I can go
and analyze a specific site; however, I can not seem to figure out how to see which
site it is listening to while live scanning.

Any ideas ?

I think you would have to program each Site in a separate System and tag it as such to display which Site was currently being received.

menu - advanced - site info.

And why the heck do you have 10 sites in a FL (unless you have location on, or GPS)? If you have 10 loaded it going to takr over 30 seconds to scan thru it. Can you even hear 10?

As to seeing it while scanning - can't do it without duplication of systems.

I use sentinel software to eliminate all sites in the state except for 4 towers that are between 15-35 miles. Works for me. Use same towers and FL's if I am in home or mobile. Works great.
