Updating TGID's on Freescan w/ 396xt

[jclarkr6]

I programmed in an Illinois Starcom21 site into my BCD396xt using the latest version of Freescan. RadioReference recently updated many of the Talk Group ID's (TGID) for my area. I am wanting to use Freescan to simply update the TGID's (located under three different groups) in the system that I have already created. However, every time I try to import the new TGID's into the existing system, Freescan automatically creates a new system and places the imported TGID's there in three seperate groups. How do I update either the groups or the TGID's in Freescan within my existing system? I would really appreciate any advice that anyone could provide on this issue. Thanks in advance to anyone that responds to my post.

It would depend on your situation. Have you customized the labels on the TGs in your scanner? If you have then you will have to cut and paste the new information into your existing groups and be careful to avoid duplications. If not then you can just delete your existing groups and then cut and paste the new groups into the existing system. When done just delete the new system that was created when you imported the new groups.

Thanks, DDan! I took your advice and used the cut and paste feature that comes with FreeScan known as EZ Grab! That sure did the trick. Thanks!
