TG Priority and MultiSite Question

[ech1253]

Hello,

I programmed each of the Mass State Police 800MHz 3600-baud SmartZone's control channels into a single TSYS object (20 Zones) and I enabled "MultiSite" as I am mostly driving around the state... http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR&sid=736

I also added most TG's for each Troop across the state as a single scanlist and enabled "Priority" for certain TG's...

Here is my question... If the 500 is at the moment using a CC from say, Zone 8, (because it best meets the multisite thresholds), and I have PRI enabled at the time, yet the Priority TG is not normally broadcast on Zone 8, will the scanner search for that TG on other CC's or does the multisite setting take precedence?

Also, how have others programmed similar Motorola SmartZone systems? Is one TSYS for each Zone a better approach or is the above ideal?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

It will not leave to search for the priority talkgroup. Priority means that if it hears the priority TG on the low-rate datastream it will switch to it, it's not "searching" for it.
