I picked up my new 436 today and rushed home for play time. I'm not the most experienced scanning enthusiast but I know a little and previously had a GRE PSR-800. I'm getting accompanied with the unit and how to program it, but I have a question on it's operation.
I set up a few favorites lists, one of them is the local PD/FD/ISDPD which is on the old analog TxWARN system and I set it up to only use the local system site. There's not much traffic here but when something is said it works great, except for that pesky but sporadic squelch tail.
The other lists are on the new PII TxWARN system, North Harris County LE as well as Houston PD and FD. I set up the list to include all the sites for this system as I will be traveling around the area while listening to these agencies. The problem is it seems to scan every site repeatedly instead of finding the closest site and using it. This seems like it would waste lots of time looking for out-of-range sites instead of scanning the desired talkgroups on a local site.
If I recall my PSR-800 would find the local site and scan the desired talkgroups. Am I correct on this?
