I just received a Whistler 1040 from a friend. I am trying to figure out how the darn thing processes information so that I can efficiently program it. I am trying to monitor Minnesota's P25 ARMER system in my area. I am programming with WIN500. I am pretty knowledgeable on how the P25 trunking system works, but I am trying to wrap my head around the object oriented scanning concept. Hopefully someone can help.
In the example I give below I have a few questions.
With MultiSite mode Roam enabled on all three systems: Will the scanner monitor the strongest site in each system, or the strongest site from one of the three systems?
Assuming that I have enabled all 3 lists: Will I hear traffic for list three that comes from site 1, or will I need to enter the control frequencies for site 1 into system C in order to hear those transmissions?
System (TSYS) A: County Alpha
Site 1, 2
Talkgroup (TGRP) L, M, N
List 1
MultiSite Mode: Roam
System (TSYS) B: County Beta
Site 3, 4
Talkgroup (TGRP) O, P, Q
List 2
MultiSite Mode: Roam
System (TSYS) C: State Agency Charlie
Site 5, 6
Talkgroup (TGRP) R, S, T
List 3
MultiSite Mode: Roam
Thank you for your assistance.
