Yet two more Pro95 trunking questions

[TopCat99]

OK, two questions that I'm embarrassed to ask cuz I'm sure the answers lie somewhere in the manual and I've overlooked them about a dozen times by now :lol:

Anyway... it seems you can mix conventional and some flavor of trunking in the same bank. But can mix two different trunking groups (but both Motorola) in the same bank?

Second question: is there a "quick and dirty" way of programming talk group IDs? That is, how should I organize the (sub-)banks? See Fayette County, Pennsylvania and you'll see why I'm asking

No reason to be embarrassed for not having the manual memorized. We can take care of that...see my next answer. :lol:

Yes you can, but that is a qualified yes. This has been discussed too many times on this board, indeed in this fourm. Do a search (see link above.) Now you can be embarrassed! :roll:

There really isn't any quick & dirty way to organize as everyone listens a little differently. We each have our own priorities; however, thanks for pointing out the system. It was in dire need of some organization, which I took care of. Now if a local or regional admin will just look it over to see if that makes more sense then a single "All" group... 8)
