The talkgroup names are stored in a comma delimited file in the radio system folder. You only need the first three columns.

Those columns are:

Talkgroup Number, Priority,TalkGroup Name

Typical lines might be:

1010,3,G-EVENT01
1011,3,G-EVENT02
1012,3,G-EVENT03
1013,3,G-EVENT04
1014,3,G-EVENT05
1015,3,G-EVENT06

A Priority of 3 would be considered a normal talkgroup, and is only a concern if you are controlling a Uniden scanner.

These lines would be placed in the Talkgroups.txt file located in the system folder. For the MPSCS, that folder would be System796.

Sorry Jonathan, I just noticed what forum your question is in. If its about loading TG Tags in Trunker etc. I think you can type them in by editing the xxxxid.txt

Ok, this is incorrect for new data... The above is correct if the file exists and has a FileVersion:2 line at the top of it.

For a new file, create the Talkgroups.txt file and one per line, enter the talkgroup number, a comma, and the talkgroup name like this:

1010,G-EVENT01
1011,G-EVENT02

Now, when I tested this here, Pro96Com Crashed... There was a bug in this area. You might want to wait for Build 19 which I think I should be able to get out tomorrow which will handle this better.

Otherwise add the line:

FileVersion:2

to the top of your talkGroups file and include the priority level to do the import now.

PRO96COM loading premade tg lists

I just hacked together a list for SW MI and crashed pro96com with it,,, I copied the original as much as possible. The list is quite large - are there any size limitations?

I don't recall right off hand and I'm not using the computer that has the source on it. There is a bug in build 18 that makes it very particular about the file format so that might be the issue.

I'll check on what I'm set up for as far as talkgroup counts tomorrow.

load premade TG files in pro96com

Well the problem wasn't my file, it was leaving my Palm hotsync manager running and trying to use the serial port.

I made up a file of all statewide (Michigan) tg's and those used in SW MI, renamed the talkgroups.txt file and slipped mine in - A OK!

I'm gonna try to attach my file to this post. Whenever a TG didn't have an alpha I improvised.

I added what you had to mine (I pasted it into my file before the stuff I had already, which would have read yours first, then mine)

Also I looked at the source. I made provisions to go all the way to the maximum of 65535 talkgroups.
