How to program Win97
1 Go to the Database for Utah > Trunked Systems > Utah Communications Agency Network.
2 Determine what talk Groups you want to hear.
3 Program in only the ones you want to hear, using the DEC number.
4 Program in the Alpha Tags for all the DEC numbers you program.
5 Select Closed Mode so that only the TGRPs you programmed show up.
If you do not select Closed, your scanner will continue to show numbers without tags on the bottom line.
The only way for your scanner to show the Alpha Tag for every DEC number (or MOT number) is for you to program in every DEC and alpha tag that is in the UCAN system.
This is not recommended. While you are waiting for your scanner to return to some exciting traffic in West Valley, it is busy looking at all 726 listed Talk Groups.
Program in one bank, all the best TGRPs for a county or area.
Program police, fire, UHP, sheriff, etc. Don't program streets, animal control, UDOT.
Do the same thing with another county or area.
My Areas are: SL City, SL Sheriff, SLCo Area, Davis Co, Utah Co, Tooele Co, etc
Look at this screenshot. Notice I checked "Closed" I also have more TGRPs programmed.
