How do you handle more than 100 talk groups in a talk bank?

[blankenburg]

What do you do when you have more than 100 active talk groups on a trunked bank with a BC780XLT? Do you put the same trunk group in two banks and split up the ID's? I never thought I'd have that problem but I do. The utility companies here in Vegas have some pretty interesting conversations at times.

Thanks,

Either another bank or reduce the tg's you really want to listen to.

I had a customer requesting one bank each for RPD, SPD, RFD, SFD, WCS (sheriff), PW, Schools, Airports and finally Misc. So 9 banks each with the first 15 frequencies being the same simulcast sites. Sortof silly waste of banks but definately an option for bizillion TG's on a system. Plus this gave the customer one touch access to whatever he wanted to listen to.

Although I don't have a 780, the same holds true for almost all of the scanners. When I was in Houston, I had 3 banks set up on STARNet because they have too many TG's (of interest) to fit in one bank. I kind of divided them by area with some system wide duplicates in each bank (like LifeFlight).
