I have been reading about the G5 and I may buy one to monitor certain talkgroups in a statewide 700 MHz P25 system while on the road but I have a few questions if someone wouldn't mind answering them.
1- I read that you can program 64 talkgroups per channel knob position. Is this correct?
2- If number 1 is correct then can I program 8 X 64 talkgroups all on the same system for example each state police troop area into a different "channel" and have 64 talkgroups in each channel?
3- How many control channels can be entered for a single system? If there are 138 tower sites statewide and each has a primary and two alternate control channels can put them all in for the same system? Well, there is some frequency resuse but not much. So I would still need to put in a couple of hundred CC frequencies. Or if the number is less will it let me progam the same system eight times but just give it a new name and different set of control channels for each iteration even if the sysid will be the same all eight times?
4- When entering multiple sites does the pager find one good control channel and stay there or does it constantly rotate through all sites looking for a good control channel for each?
