in the ws1080 software, on the right side change trunking id mode to hex. this mighty get the group ids displayed. on the left side there is a setting for display, try the advanced setting and see what choices you have there.This is in the general setting tab. If none of this works, try the advanced features tab.under trunked systems channels, lines 3,4,5 have various settings. I think line 5 set it to radio id that might be the setting. Also you might check trunking radio tab, then in the middle of the screen, there is site details, talkgroup details. put some talk groups there, then send to scanner.
The underwater sound, try setting to fm from nbfm. I am not familar with the whistler software and can not find where the mode is changed. in the GRE 500 software, there is a setting for mode.
