I am VERY new to the G5 and LOVE it. I understand it's NOT a scanner but I'm one that has picked it up for just that purpose in my area. That being said I really do like the PPS interface for codeplug development and in some ways it makes more sense than programming a scanner even for scanning. My question is related to the priority vs non-priority groups when putting TG's into a z/k setting. I would expect that when receiving a TG in the non-priority group, if a priority pops up on air, it would immediately switch to that. Am I understanding that correctly? Is the order in the Priority group hierarchy also similar? Do the TG's to the top trump the ones lower in the list?
The reason I'm asking is our community has only 3 non-encrypted talk groups that can be monitored. I put them all in priority box they are constantly getting switched or seem to, mid sentence. I'm considering putting one in priority and the other two in non-priority so that I can make 3 knobs (one each for North South and Central as priority). That way I can set one to North priority (as example) and I would hear the traffic on the other two but I wouldn't miss anything on North. Am I understanding the concept properly.
Just wanted to make sure I'm understanding the concepts properly. I still have a lot to learn about the capabilities and how I can leverage it to the best ability for the use I have for this cool rig.
