Can anyone tell me how to mark a "trunk ID" as a priority chan. I am using the GRE psr400 with the Butel software. I use it for MSP Troop D.
Thanks

The GRE scanners are not able to do this. In order to have a TG ID be priority, the scanner would need to constantly receive the TRS CC and wait for it.Can anyone tell me how to mark a "trunk ID" as a priority chan. I am using the GRE psr400 with the Butel software. I use it for MSP Troop D.
The Uniden BCD396XT and BCD996XT are the only digital scanners that can set a TRUNK PRIORITY.
False.
The PSR-500 family does it, as well.
(EDIT: while not a digital scanner, the GRE-made PRO-107 also has the feature)
I don't consider what any of the analog scanners these days do to be a priority. A true priority channel requires a 2nd receiver always monitoring. When that channel talks, it is switched to. Such a design does not require the annoying 2+ second interruption we now have.Guess our definition of "PRIORITY" differs
I dont consider what the GRE does as a true TG PRIORITY and just checking those TG when its not busy as the same.
But in that case an argument can be made for the Uniden only does that on some systems as well.

RS had a crystal controlled scanner back in the 1970s with this true priority function. I don't recall the PRO-# though.

then to me neither is a TRUE priority
Huh? If you are listening to one transmission, and a transmission on a priority talkgroup that fits the criteria starts up, you are automatically switched over...
OK Guys I get the drift. No TG Priority. I have purchased a second GRE just to do the MSP Trp-D. Does anyone have any info avail about a Spectra or Syntor for MSP Trp-D. I would like to put it in my cruiser. You can PM me if you can help.

It was not a PRO-16. The priority function of the PRO-16 uses the technique of interrupting whatever is going on and checking the priority channel every 2 seconds. The scanner I speak of may have been a PRO-9 or PRO-8. As I recall there was a rotary switch on one side to select which of the crystal controlled channels was used for the 2nd receiver (priority channel).The radio you speak of was a pro-16. It was one of the last crystal scanner that Radio Shack sold before the programmables came out.
