Tytera MD-2017 "sticky" talkgroups

[wowologist]

kinda OT but not...anyone know how to "sticky" an MD-2017 to that static TG? Say I have 3100 static in the dashboard...on my radio if I key up does not TX but simply says on the screen my user ID> TG 0 - one would think that if you have a static TG in your dashboard that would also be the default TX group for the hand held. (through an MMDVM hotspot)

Let me expand on this a little: ..I cant seem to get this radio to "stay" for TX on the TG that I have in "sticky" in pi-star-mmdvm (say 3100), So this is what happens...I'm listening just fine to a QSO on say 3100, which I have in STATIC in the dashboard. So now I want to join the QSO or say something, I then have to go MENU > CONTACTS > MANUAL DIAL and type in the 3100 and then key, and it will then be able to TX to TG3100 ....15 seconds later....I'm having to do the EXACT same thing if I wait more then say 5 seconds between a mic keying. I am one of "those" guys that actually try not to quick key in case another station wants to join the QSO, like I said if I do that...it looses the TG and I end up with a red light and see my user# > TG0 in the display and at that time I have to quickly ...go back to the MENU> CONTACTS > MANUAL DIAL thing again.....wowowowo. IS ther a setting I'm missing in the settings of this radio? Any help appreciated!

I'm not familiar with the MD-2017...never owned one. But the best way to do it is to create a channel for the talkgroup you want to use. There is no need to use manual dial, though I'm sure there is some setting in the CPS to change that length from 15 seconds to something else.
