How to program so I only hear CH i'm on

[razorseal]

Is there a way to setup the channel so that I only rx the channel/contact I'm on? If I'm a channel that transmits on TAC 311, I don't want to hear any other traffic, same of any other ch. Do I have to setup a RX group for every channel?! There's got to be a better way. I only like hearing the channel that I'm currently on.

For a P682.

Thanks!

Look in DMR services / RX group list and then your list number. I think the default is for all TX contacts to populate group 1. You can remove the contacts you don't want or create a new list and just add TAC311 as the sole member.

You go back to your Conventional / Channel / Digital channel screen and select the RX group from the drop down list.

You can duplicate TAC311 as a different channel with another group if you want to scan TAC311 and another contact by creating that list as a separate RX group list and using that in the duplicate channel, but you have to change the alias, they can't be the same.

I can do some screen prints if you want.

You can also do this. Go to digital common - basic. Scroll to the bottom make sure RX group includes TX contact box is checked. Go to Channel - digital channel and select the channel that has your TAC 311 in it. Change your Rx group list to none. Your radio will then only receive TAC311 since that's in your TX contact list for that particular Channel.

You do not have to have RX group list defined unless you want to listen to more than one talk group on a particular selected Channel. Think of it roughly as automatic group scan.

Right, and that's what I did, but it sounds like ton of work (lots of rx groups). for each talk group to have it's own "rx group". I mean it is a receive "group". I don't want to group. I just want to only hear the channel i'm transmitting on.

so I can't do it any other way except putting that one contact in a rx group?

I had an issue with a cheaper radio (GD-77) where I was limited with only so many rx groups, I'm not sure what the limit for this thing is.

No you don't have to create RX groups unless you want to listen to more than one talkgroup per selected Channel. Follow what I said above and set your Rx group to none in your channel and you will only receive the TX talk group assigned to that channel nothing else. I cannot answer to any other radio other than the Hytera. Don't know how DMR works in whatever that other radio is you have.

ah! Gotcha. that is what I needed to know. perfect. thanks!

now my other question if you happen to come back...

Is there a way to organize the zones? I don't see a way to bring them up and down. Once I create a zone, That's where they seem to stay. I'd like to group them a little differently than the other I created them (repeaters, then common, then simplex zones etc)

 

[MSS-Dave]

I generally don't have multiple zones so not sure about moving them around but if you right click on the zone you have copy paste insert and delete. Maybe you can move them that way by copying and inserting it where you want it and deleting multiples if you create them. Just make sure you have a copy of your code plug saved somewhere in case programming go sideways and you have to restore from your known working file.

Yeah, that's what I ended up going. Insert, copy, paste then delete. Would be nice if there were up down buttons to move them around.

I think the best way would be (don't think it's possible on DMR) is if the radio would have a bank of repeaters, and it would use a roam like feature to pick the best signal repeater from a beacon. Then the channels would be the talkgroups and not repeaters. This way the radio would have the best repeater automatically and you just pick the talkgroup you want to talk on.

I just want to only hear the channel i'm transmitting on.

I discussed this with you last week. Do not use RX groups. Mine are blank, as I too only want to hear the one TG where my CH knob is set. If I want to listen to others, I use scan.
