Notice that the system name has changed to reflect the name you chose
when you were entering the parameters for the trunking system. As you en-
ter this TGRP and other TGRP objects for this system, you will just specify
the system name here. So, the TSYS parameters for a system need only be
entered once. You simply specify the already-entered TSYS as needed when
building more TGRP objects for the same system.
Scroll down one click to the ID: field. Note that by default, the trunking
talkgroup ID is set to Wildcard. Wildcard is a special type of TGRP object
that allows you to monitor all talkgroup call traffic on the associated trunked
radio system. Wildcard TGRP objects allow you to quickly find and store
new or unknown talkgroups on a trunked radio system. When a Wildcard
TGRP object 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
Wildcard .
ID:
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 My-
System, just press the number keys to enter the talkgroup ID of the desired
talkgroup, then press the ENT key 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 pur-
pose 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 the SEL key on
the 5-way pushbutton pad. Using the text entry methods that you have previ-
ously employed for naming your CONV and TSYS objects, name your new
talkgroup "POLICE DISPATCH":
