Here is my question, I will try to be clear;
In my EZScan software I have three separate trunked sytems sites set up (Sandusky, Erie, Wood Counties) with their own individual parameters. All three reference a single master scanlist (#7) titled Ohio Marcs-P25. If I manually add a new talk group to #7 under Sandusky County it does not show up in either of the other two county's lists even tho they both reference #7. I thought it would be easier to only have a single master scanlist for modification instead of having three separate duplicate systems to track. Is each separate system slaved to its' own scanlist or is there an easy way to transfer manually added talkgroups to other sites? If that is the case then I might just as well continue with three separate scanlists for each county. Why when a talkgroup is manually added to one trunked system does it not show up in all three when they all reference the same scanlist?
Thanks.

I have the same issue. As soon as I manually add that "missing" TG or delete it, as it is already referenced to that scanlist and are a duplicate, I usually get a "writing outside of memory" type of error or the transfer to the scanner gets an error with TSYS coudn't be written or similar.

That EZScan is one crazy program.

My guess is that the program where developed to support a very simpel scanner and they kept adding to it with each more advanced scanner model being introduced and the todays complex scanner configurations where never supposed to be handled by the base of that program and it is really to much to handle with nesting within nesting and loops in the program that makes it crash or behave in an unpredictable manner.

This was no answer to your question, but you are not alone.

Simple answer is: each system has it's own talk group details tab where the talk groups are programmed. Even if you program 3 systems into 1 scanlist, you still need to add talk groups to that system.

A quicker way to do this is to have a spread sheet setup with all the talk groups so you can easily add new or remove old. Then you can simply copy from the spread sheet and paste into all 3 systems in EZ Scan.
