Does anyone know a useful purpose for the object ID's used by any of the object-oriented scanners? - Tom
Object ID's

I can only speak of what I use them for, and that's when I hear a new encrypted talkgroup I haven't already programmed and locked out. The ID will tell me what department is encrypted based on the series of ID's in my area that I've already seen and noted.
A example would be the ID of 2321951 being a car on sheriff dispatch when it comes up again on a new tg using encryption with the same ID then I know WHO it is!
Maybe other users have a better system or use but this works for me. By entering the encrypted talkgroup as a object into a list, tagging it and then locking it out you will not have to listen to the encryption by doing this. Even with the wildcard turned on, I don't hear the encrypted tg in that list.

He asked about object IDs. Those have nothing to do with radio IDs.
To answer your question -- yes. I keep my high priority objects in the 1-10 area so I can quickly bring them up if needed. Otherwise, no.
PRO197: In manual mode, enter the object ID and you will go to that object.
For example, I can press 3 keys (man, 0, ent) and go to the first object I entered into the scanner.
That could be very useful provided you know the object ID. If you enter a code not associated with an object, you get an error beep.
To tell the truth, I had never tried this until after I saw this thread and looked in the manual. It's kind of cool. It would be even better if you could reassign object IDs. If you use a computer program (which I don't yet have), perhaps it is possible to reassign object IDs (one would hope so).

You can reassign object IDs in Win500

Yes reading these threads gives my the courage to experiment. If I screw up I can just reload the last Win 500 file and it will reset the scanner. Question can you set up a favorite file in Win 500?
