For research purposes, I have a bunch of DMR frequencies programmed into conventional channels on my SDS100/x536HP with:
- the channel name = " mmm.kkkkMHz" so the scanner will work like it does in Quick Search mode, displaying the Nt: S: TG: U: info if it hears any data [is there an official name for this mode?]
- the color code is set to the respective repeater's CC
With one exception, this more or less works. Let's say I have a frequency that has two repeaters on it, one with CC=1 and one with CC=2. I have them programmed into two channels that only differ by CC.
If the scanner is on the CC=1 channel and the CC=1 repeater goes active, the scanner will both display the Nt: S: TG: U: display and also play audio; this is expected behavior.
If, however, the scanner is on the CC=1 channel but the CC=2 repeater goes active, for me expected behavior is to do nothing at all. Instead, the scanner will display the Nt: S: TG: U: display from the "wrong" repeater (although not play audio).
Is it supposed to work this way? It makes it impossible to tell what TGs are on which repeater: the scanner is sitting there saying "Color 1" but actually displaying TG and UID info from a repeater that is not sending CC1 but instead is sending CC2.
