Nerp, if you have a TGID programmed in with an ID tag, it can, and most of the time will, still populate that TG as the TG number, or as the TG tag, while in search.
I might not have explained myself well.
When ID Searching (ID Search ON) and the scanner receives a TGID, the scanner checks to see if the TGID is already programmed. There are three scenarios:
1. If the TGID is already programmed, but the TGID is Avoided, or the TGID is in a Department that is Avoided, or if the TGID is in a Department that is off due to being Out of Range, the scanner "moves along" and does not display anything, nor is any audio present.
2. If the TGID is already programmed and NOT Avoided as described above, the scanner will display the TGID and any associated Alpha Tag.and the audio will unmute and you will hear the transmission.
3. If the TGID is NOT already programmed, the scanner will display "TGID: xxxx" where xxxx is the number of the talkgroup and the audio will unmute and you will hear the transmission.
Exception: any talkgroups that are encrypted - the scanner will "move along".
(I have just verified this on my scanner. Actually found some new talkgroups
They were listed as future talkgroups on an old spreadsheet I had for the local system - guess they have become operational.)
