hello All I have a question about home patrol 2 software
do I need to setup Trunking frequencies in the home patrol 2 I have added all the system via software to My Favorites list but do I need to set anything up in order to hear all the talk groups or should it pickup someone please Help.
thank you
If you added the system by appending from the main database to a Favorites list, all the needed information, including frequencies and any talkgroups that are in the database, would have been included in the system.
If you only want to hear talkgroups that are in the database already, make sure that the system is set to
ID Scan. That will scan only TGIDs that are already entered for the system, providing that they are not Avoided (locked out), in a Department that is Avoided (locked out), and the attached Service type is enabled.
If you want
All TGIDs, regardless of whether or not they've been identified and entered in the database, you would use
ID Search instead. That would get you all active talkgroups, even if they were not in the database, with the condition that they are not already Avoided, and are not in a Department that is Avoided. Talkgroups already in the database would show both the ID and the identified text tag. ID's not in the database would only show up as talkgroup IDs, no text tag.
The ID Search/ID Scan selection is made in Sentinel, under the System Options tab in the Favorites list editor. You cannot toggle between the modes on the scanner itself, only via Sentinel. However, if you also have the Extreme Option upgrade, then you could edit the system via the scanner's on-screen menu to turn ID Search on or off. (ID Search/ID Scan options are not available if scanning using your location and the main database. You must be using a Favorites list to enable ID Search.)
