RE: Tytera MD UV380 with GPS
Promiscuous Mode
Someone was explaining it to me but I don't exactly see how to get it. Do I have to install some hack to the radio firmware?
It apparently might require a modified firmware. On the example I saw they had a Set Talkgroup under Utilities. I only have 3 options and not Set Talkgroup. So, I'm assuming I need to install some set of tools but can't find specific, detailed information. I do see that there are more than one version of the radio, lots of different tools, and if I use the wrong tool, I might brick by radion. Almost did that earlier but managed to reflash it back to the original.
What I'm trying to accomplish is to be able to communicate on a TalkGroup, without interruptions by a received talk group on another channel. But at other times I want to hear those conversatinos. And I need a way to get to the others quickly.
I had been using RX Groups, but that's very labor intensive, and doesn't always do a good job. Works ok for small lists.
What I have been doing is creating an RX Group list, with all but the most busy. Then, I can just dial my radio to a specific talk group and key the radio. I'll be on that Group, and if another channel becomes active I hear that. But I need to be careful, because if I key up at the wrong time, I'm on that other channel. I want to avoid that. So, someone suggested "promiscuous mode"
It's possible on my radio but I don't know if I have to install something. Is there a clear explanation on what's required to get this on my radio? OR is there a better way of doing what I want?
