Services question

[bearcatrp]

Usually have the following selected:
Law dispatch
law talk
law tac
multi dispatch
multi tac
multi talk
emergency ops
fire tac
interop

I shut everything off and select federal only. Am still getting all the P25 scans from the other selections. Shut it off and back on in case it was hung up or something. Nope. Is the armer system (P25) considered federal?

Look at the right most column.......
This is what your radio looks at.

...and you can assign one of the tags or use one of the custom tags. Any entry assigned a tag that’s locked out or avoided will not be monitored.

Am still learning this radio and trying new things. Just shut off every service but business. It still scans the armer system which is P25. Must be something I am missing.
nessnet, when you say far right column, is that in the frequencies list?

Looking at ARMER in the database, there are a number of talkgroups tagged as service type Business, so unless you disable ARMER either with a quick key, or using the menu to toggle it off, the scanner will still check the system for activity if you are using the main database and location.

Thanks for the lessons guys. Seeing that chart helps me allot. I knew I have seen it before but guess it didn't click until now. Thanks again.
