G5 conventional channels programming

[19sargeusmc56]

I have a G5 here and I'm trying to add a conventional frequency zone. I have the zone setup, but under E7, Zone & Channel setting, the Available list used for adding channels to the scan list is blank. The conventional channels I have setup appear at the top of E7 in the Freq List Resource, tho.

I'm trying to create a single knob position in this conventional zone, and set it to scan all the conventional channels in the list, using CT/CDCSS.

I gotta be missing something stupid. This is my first attempt at conventional programming. Up until now, everything's been trunked.

I had a heck of a time getting things to work. I think I had to put the "scan" on channel 1, and the conventional frequencies on 2-16.

This is the way. You create one knob position as the scan position then the rest of the knob positions are conventional channels.

VG. TY.

Yes it took me a bit to understand the logic for programing in conventional channels:

• Add each conventional channel to a knob position
• Build a scan list based off those conventional channels (16 max per knob position)

When I import from Radio Reference, I have the tool add the selected frequencies to new Zone/Knob positions.
