I use PSREdit to program my PSR-500. What setting did I inadvertently change?

On trunking systems, the PSR-500 third line of the display normally alternates between the alpha tag for the trunked system and the alpha tag for the current talkgroup. Now, it just shows the name of the trunked system (flickering), and not the name of the talkgroup at all. So I can't tell what talkgroup it's currently monitoring.

What happened here? I'm pretty sure it's some setting that accidentally got changed, but which one?

Try loading the file and then goto Advanced settings and reset all global settings.
Then re-upload to scanner and see if that corrects it.

Tried that; it didn't fix this issue.

Check the LCD Blink on and LCD Blink off settings...

Okay, I checked them, but what should the defaults be? That is, in order to prevent this issue I'm having.

Press the F3 key on the scanner to change any setting back to the default setting,

More information? There's a whole host of menu options to select from. Which one am I looking for?

PSRedit general configuration tab. Just above the battery settings in the lower right. LCD on is the time in ms to show the talksys, LCD off is the time in ms to show the talkgroup.

I found it, but no matter what I changed the settings to, it made no difference at all.

UPDATE: Never mind; I got it now (I had first changed the one marked "LED"; darn glasses)

Thanks for the help.
