Pro-164 question

[70cutlass442]

Programmed it via Win97, all works well.... but is there a way I can manually toggle through the TGIDs? I know how to manually hold it after there has been traffic on that ID, but what about switcing to another TG without scanning again?

There are two ways to scan a single TG; one is to "hold" on that TG and the other is to only have that TG turned on or programmed.

To change the TG that you are holding on, press FUNC TRUNK. Use the T, UP and DOWN keys to find the new TG you want to hold on. Press FUNC TRUNK again. After a moment, the scanner will resume "ID HOLD MODE".

Note that using ID hold mode in this manner is not ideal. One problem is that when the control channel changes, the scanner does not follow it. If you really want to follow only ONE TG, I recommend turning off the sub-groups of the TGs you don't want and locking out all the TGs in the enabled sub-group you don't want. Not elegant, but clearly the only fully funcitonal approach.

Thanks! I will give that a try... I found how to scroll through the IDs in program mode, but didnt hear traffic, now I know why. Im used to Bearcats that allow you to HOLD, then press ^ to go thru the saved IDs and monitor traffic only on that ID. thanks!

I wanted to hold on one TGID, i had one open bank so i put the TGID i wanted in that bank and scan on it only..
it works very well... my next scanner will have more banks..
