Priority TG scanning on a G4

[philkoz]

I have Detroit PD & FD dispatch & fireground TG's set to 1 knob position, in Trunking TG-Scan Mode, with Fire Dispatch & fireground TG's set to priority. Everything works fine during normal TG scanning. Here is my question...If I hold on a TG while it is not active and 1 of the priority TG's (ex; fireground) becomes active, will it switch to that TG? So far it has not seemed to do that, but I could very well have something set wrong. I did read on another thread that the order of the priority TG's makes a difference, so I have the Fire Dispatch TG below the fireground TG's on my priority list. I thought I might have to switch the Receiving Mode to 'Trunking TG Priority Scan', but that option isn't offered in the drop-down on E7.

Thanks...

If you have talkgroup on hold you will only receive that talk group on hold.

I don’t think you can hold on a TG while is not active .

I took his post to mean when the TG was already on hold and just not receiving. However you may be right too, in which case yep can't hold on something not active.

If you have talkgroup on hold you will only receive that talk group on hold.

100% correct or at least that's been my experience.

Sorry, I should've clarified. K9KLC is correct, I meant a held TG not currently active. For example, a fire run goes out on the dispatch TG. I hold on that TG. I was wondering if the fireground TG would come up if I was still holding on the dispatch TG, if both were priority. It sounds like nothing else happens while holding on a TG, priority or otherwise. Thanks everybody !!
