G4/G5 Talkgroup Exclusion List

[MidwestRadioListener]

First off I know this is not offiically a scanner but WOW it's the greatest receiver and I personally love it as my scanner.

I wonder if Unication or anyone has thought about advantages of a way in the PPS to create an exclusion list for TGIDs ? An example is that you create a knob
position for a system running wildcard but you want to exclude TGID 7000-7999 or exclude TGID 1521, 1691 and 1324. What a great feature to hear all the action
on a system while getting rid of encrypted talkgroups or a few talkgroups that you don't want to hear.

Curious what others think or if anyone has a workaround. So far I haven't found anything in searches nor a way of hearing all action and being able to receive newly created talkgroups but get rid of a few known things that I don't want to hear.

Thanks !

Only program the talkgroups you want to hear and not a wild card.

Except when you want to hear all traffic on a site and you don't know all the talkgroups on the site or when people add new ones there is no way to do that without a wildcard. We have a new Statewide system in Iowa and things are being added all the time. Thanks anyway.

FWIW, the next release of the firmware (currently in beta) can be configured to skip encrypted messages in TG-Scan and TG-Monitor.

You don't need a wildcard to do that. Define a knob position for the system setting "receiving mode" to "trunking TG-monitor". You'll hear every TGID on the system. If you've also added TGIDs to the talk group list, you'll see the alpha tags assigned. Otherwise you'll see only the TGID numeric. But you'll also hear the encryption noise as well (at least until the next firmware).

I agree. Thank would be great. Very useful to help identifing new TGIDs in the system.
