Pow! The Pro-106 light has dawned!

Nevermind. It was actually a train in that tunnel.

It takes a little bit to grasp the concept, but once into it you quickly discover things that make it alot easier. I how ever catch myself using the term bank still quite a bit.......

Scanlist 1, the one with all the TGIDs seems to work. Receives traffic and shows alpha tags. Fine. Must be a usable CC in that freq list. No surprise here.

Enabled scanlist 2. Disabled 1. Hey! I'm getting alpha tags! Hey! Scanlist 2 is seeing the TGIDs I put with scanlist 1 (which were marked as members of 1 thru 20) ! Hey! Very Cool! I don't need the TGIDs copied to each TSYS!

< Sound of smack on the forehead> So THAT's how it works!!!! Wow! You don't have to see any TGIDs when looking at a TSYS if the TGID has the scanlist assigned to it somewhere.

Dang! The whole Colo DTRS system fit into a vscanner memory. Amazing!
(But you guys knew this all along, didn't you?)

Let me understand. You have all the talkgroups in one TSYS object in scanlist 1. Then you have 19 other TSYS's with only wildcard TG objects in the other scanlists, and you turn off scanlist 1 and turn on scanlist 2 and you see the alpha tags from the TSYS assigned to the TSYS in scanlist 1? if so, I'd love to see your file.. that would be a nice undocumented "Feature".

Perhaps I am missing something however...

To the best of my knowledge its not possible to put the whole system in the scanner in that manner, with the limitations of 32 CCs per TSYS object.

While looking at the 1st TSYS which has all the Talkgroups, change the scanlist on them from 1 to 12345678910111213142151617181920.

.

Then you are just assigning the same TSYS object in scalist 1 and all it's TGRPs to all the scanlists.

I guess it was a train wasn't it?

I checked TSYS -> Analyse on two different banks and found the same freqs on the same channel assignment so, yes, it was just the same stuff as scanlist 1 including channels.

So I have to roll back to using the wildcards. And I revert to not understanding this thing. This leaves it pretty much like banks and TGIDs per bank.

I think you have the misconception that talkgroup objects are independent and they're not. TGRP objects are assigned to TSYS objects. When you assign a TGRP to a scanlist, you are also assigning it's parent TSYS object along with it.

Just learned that the hard way.

And I'm left wondering why a TGRP object can be a member of multiple scan lists. Been strugggling with that since Minute 1 with this scanner.

A little further thought- check me on this.

The multiple membership for talkgroups is a way of moving the talkgroup selection outward to the scanner's front panel. On the '96 you enable/disable groups of TGIDs by going into the list of TGIDs and using Funct 1 to get a block of them or one by one by lockout. Very clumsy.
This is more user accessible and configurable.

That conventional freqs can be assigned to a panel button or multiple panel buttons is also useful.

Looks like the wildcard per TSYS to allow locating a strong CC to then be programmed into the TSYS for scanlist 1 will be the method.

Right? Wrong? Twisted counterclockwise?
