is mapped to an active Scan List and scanned, all talkgroup traffic on the system is monitored,
and you have the option to save or lock out new talkgroups as they appear. You may wish to
save your TGRP object as a Wildcard with no further changes. If so, just press the SAVE softkey
to store your new TGRP as a wildcard. By default it will take the tag name of ID: Wildcard.
HINT: Wildcard objects are easier to find and change later if you include an abbreviated name
for the system in the tag field.
If you would rather store a TGRP object for a specific talkgroup ID on MySystem, just press the
number keys to enter the talkgroup ID of the desired talkgroup, then press ENT or the DONE
softkey to store the ID.
HINT: TGRP objects are also used to receive Private/Individual Calls on trunking systems that
support these call types. Simply change the Type: field from Group to Private. A Wildcard TGRP
object with the Type: field set to Private will monitor all Private/Individual Calls seen on the
system, or you can specify a radio ID to watch for in the ID: field.
You'll want to scroll down two more clicks to the Tag: field and enter an easy to remember name
for your talkgroup that corresponds with its purpose on the trunked radio system. For this
example, let's assume that this is a police dispatch talkgroup, and we would like to use the
name "POLICE DISPATCH" for the tag. Scroll to the Tag: field and press SEL. Using the text
entry methods that you have previously employed for naming your CONV and TSYS objects,
name your new talkgroup "POLICE DISPATCH":
7 1 P
6 3 O
5 3 L
4 3 I
2 3 C
3 2 E
. <space>
3 1 D
4 3 I
7 4 S
7 1 P
2 1 A
8 1 T
2 3 C
4 2 H
Press ENT or DONE to store the name, then press SAVE to store the TGRP as a new object. As
with the other object types, there are many other parameters you can edit for the TGRP, but for
now, that's all you have to do to start monitoring traffic on that TGRP! To add more TGRPs on
the same system, follow the same steps above, this time specifying the TSYS that you just
created. To create TGRPs on a different system, follow the steps above, specify a NEW system,
and provide the correct parameters for that system, as shown above.
As a reminder, here are a few important points to remember about monitoring trunked radio
