I was curious if anyone knows how the scanners are supposed to handle patches.
I was using a bearcat BCT15; this weekend for the car show they had Event 15 patched with our service talk group. If I put my scanner on just the event talk group I miss anything that dispatch and any units running on the service talk group say, and then when I select just the service talk group I miss anything from units on the Event channel. Even in scan mode it is irritating because the scan delay is waiting for a reply on one or the other.
Just curious if this is normal or if there is a setting that will make the scanner read the patch information. I guess I would think that if the channels were patched together they would work like the radios and being on either channel would also pick up the other.
I know Davis leaves a couple of there channels patched almost always so I was hoping that you guys could shed some light on this for me. I have also noticed similar things with multi selected talk groups.
