ADV0801 Owner's Manual Draft
CONV objects for activity periodically while scanning and monitoring other objects.
This sampling will cause a brief muting of received audio when it occurs while another object is
active.
The more CONV objects are set for Priority, the longer this audio muting will be, since it takes a
certain amount of time to sample each Priority CONV object for activity.
TGRP Priority Scan
When Object Priority is set to Yes for one or more TGRP objects, the scanner will give those
TGRPs priority over other TGRPs while checking a particular trunking system for activity.
TGRPs configured for Priority are checked for activity before any other TGRPs are checked, and
during the reply delay time after non-priority TGRP calls.
Additionally, your ADV decodes the subaudible priority data that is present on analog Motorola
talkgroup calls (3600 baud control channel systems only), and will switch to a priority talkgroup
when the data for that talkgroup is found in the subaudible priority data.
Hit Counters
Your ADV0801 includes a unique Hit Counter feature that keeps track of how many
transmissions are received for each object type. The Hit Counter for an object is incremented
each time a transmission is received on an object, making it possible for you to determine the
objects that are the least and most active.
By default, the Hit Counter feature is turned off. To turn the Hit Counter on, press PGM, then
the GLOB softkey, and use the v key to scroll down to the Hit Counts item. Use the < > keys to
toggle Hit Counts on and off. When finished, press the SAVE softkey to save your changes to the
radio's configuration memory.
You can view the hit counts for an object by navigating to the object by pressing PGM, then
using the < > ^ v keys to navigate to the desired object, if necessary. Once you have selected the
desired object, press the EDIT softkey, then the CURR softkey, and scroll to the Hit Count item
bottom of the object menu to view the hit counter.
To reset the hit counter for a single object, press the Dflt softkey while the Hit Count item is
selected in the object's menu.
To clear all hit counters, press the PGM key, then the GLOB softkey. Use the v key to scroll
down to the Clear Hits item, then press the SEL key. Press the SAVE softkey to save your
changes and exit the Global settings menu.
Audible Alarms and the ALERT LED
Your ADV0801 features a very powerful ALERT LED with Audible Alarm capability that allows
you to set different types of visual and audible notifications for the different types of objects you
create.
