I'm looking for a bit of help/advice from someone with practical experience of programming a Kenwood Nexedge (conventional) system please.
To get straight to the point, I'd like to set up one radio in the network that has the ability to monitor ALL traffic on ALL frequencies programmed in the scan list...irrespective of the RAN, GID and UID used on those frequencies.
Can anyone confirm/clarify that to achieve this I'd need to enter:
- Each Rx frequency into the zone and set RAN Decode for each to None (ie to receive all 63 possible RAN codes in use)
- In the Group ID list, do I have to enter at least one ID as 'ALL' or do I have to keep the list completely clear of all IDs, or does this matter? I assume that if I only enter some specific Group IDs in this list, it would only unmute when those and only those Group IDs are in use?
- What do i need to do by way of Unit ID (as there doesn't appear to be an ALL option). Does it matter if I enter some but not all UIDs: ie will it still unmute on a UID that isn't programmed in this list?
Any other settings I need to enable/disbale?
I've been led to believe that I really only need to set RAN decode to None, and that all GIDs and UIDs in use on that channel will be displayed as default, irrespective of what I have in the GID/UID lists.
To compare with my equivalent MotoTRBO setup, for each frequency I MUST enter the correct Color Code (there is no ability to scan all Color Codes unless I add all of them as individual channels) AND I also MUST enter each valid Group ID to the scan list. User ID doesn't matter and is displyed as default......If I don't have all of these variables in correctly I will misss some transmissions. I'm hoping the Nexedge implementation is a bit more user friendly.
TIA,
Jim
