I don't know if this has been asked on here already, if so please show me the thread.
Someone recently (in general section) asked what features you'd want in a scanner other than provoice/opensky. I never really gave it much thought because so far all of the uniden scanners I've had pretty much did everything I wanted (minus the provoice)
Then I thought about it for a moment and now I'm curious why this hasn't been done, and what the possibility of doing this in future models are, at least try to get it added to the wish-list. It would certainly weigh on me upgrading.
Currently the models out (396/996) can only hold 20 groups per system. But only 10 of the groups can have quick-keys assigned (this is what I believe)
Why can't we have a scanner that has all of the groups assigned a quick-key?
My issue is having more agencies than quick-keys available, so therefore I have to end up combinding agencies to one group quick-key which becomes annoying.
I was thinking that if there could be a dedicated button on the scanner for GROUP and when pressing it would pull up a scrollable menu that would allow you to scroll through all 20 group keys that are configured into that system by display name and status if locked out or not, and let you choose to enable or disable that group at that time. Or if you press the "group" button it would then act like the [.] button by allowing you to enter in a group-key larger than 1 through 0, like [GRP]+20 would enable or disable group quick-key 20. or pressing [GRP]+15 would enable or disable group quick-key 15. Or just pressing [GRP] longer than a second would pull up a scroll list of all configured group quick-keys in that system. Then you can just dial through to the ones enabled and disabled to make changes as you wish.
The 10 quick-keys is very debilitating when you have more than 10 agencies on a system. And why even have the ability to have 20 groups if you can't assign a quick-key to each one???????
that's my beef, and my wish-list. So how doable is that?
