Programming Talkgroups

For many of the trunk scanning features to operate, you need
to program the scanner with the talkgroup ID's. Each bank
can store up to 100 talkgroups in 10 ID groups of 10
talkgroups each. Group similar talkgroups together in the
same ID group. When scanning, you can turn ID groups on
and off with a quick keypress.
