Thanks for the info. I guess it is time to hit the books again. I remember a pretty steep learning curve the first time I set his scanner up when I bought it for his Xmas years ago and I have not been around to program it for him in a few years.
BTW, I just looked at the RR database import - I have never used this before. Using various reading material at Yahoo groups etc, and Win96, I had the scanner setup to use Madison/CountyWide on bank 0, All other But North on bank 1, North/Misc bank 2, Goodlettesville bank 3, OtherPD/Sheriff bank 4, Fire/EMS bank 5, SumnerCounty bank 6, Misc Depts bank 7, unknown TGs bank 8, State bank 9
He listens to Madison, Goodlettesville, Sumner "most" of the time but he turns on the other banks as desired occasionally. My Dad is NOT high tech by any means and this was the easiest way I could think of to allow him to flip the various areas on/off.
I think I can set up a similar scenario using the RR database as soon as I learn how to use it properly. However a couple of things confuse me right now. That is, when I go to the Win96 Trunked import I see two similar options. They are "Metro Govt of Nashville and Davidson County (Motorola)" and also "Metro Govt of Nashville and Davidson County (P25)". Can you tell me what exactly the purpose of these two entries are?
And, I noticed that everything I imported is set to an "open" system. Shouldn't it be set to "closed" in order to limit it to the talkgroups I selected?
Thanks again for your help;
