If you don't want to hear the encrypted tg but still want the wildcard scanning then, enter the encrypt tg into a list as if it was something you wanted to scan THEN lock it out!
The GRE will ignore that enc tg if it's in the list on lockout. ;)

TGIDs defined explicitly in a scanlist take priority over Wildcard matches, so by using EZ Scan and defining the specific ID you can check the box for L/O (lockout) or Skip. Either will achieve the desired action, but be aware that skipped TGs can be unskipped from the scanner whereas locked out TGs cannot.

I do not use software for programming, but I'm assuming the Op might.
Encryption doesn't pose any problems for me. ;)

Assuming you are using a PSR800, to save a wildcard hit, press MENU and then SELect to save it as a new talkgroup. Then, when that talkgroup is active, press SKIP.

This creates a new object for the newly found talkgroup and allows you to lock it out without locking out the wildcard itself.

I don't quite understand but I will give it a try,I am trying to get rid of the encrypted talkgroups when they pop up,as I am recording new groups as they are heard.
