Grouping Objects With Scan Lists - Grecom PSR-410 Owner's Manual

These are just a few of the many ways you can incorporate different types of
search objects in your Scan List configurations. And, just a few of the many
ways that each of the individual search types can be configured to your
preferences and needs. Be sure to refer to the Detailed Menu Reference
section of the manual for detailed information for each of the search object
types.

Grouping Objects with Scan Lists

By default, new objects are automatically assigned to Scan List 01. Now
that you have entered a variety of new objects that are, by default, members
of Scan List 01, you may want to separate these objects into separate Scan
Lists so that you can easily enable or disable groups of objects as needed
depending on what you want to scan. There are 20 regular Scan Lists
available, a special "FAV" Scan List for one-button access to your favorite
Scannable Objects, and a Skywarn Scan List.
Although Scan Lists may seem similar to the "banks" that are used in
older bank/channel scanner designs, you will find that they are much more
powerful and flexible than "banks". The number of objects that can be
grouped in a Scan List is limited only by the scanner's memory, and single
objects can be members of multiple Scan Lists without creating duplicate
versions of those objects and manually placing them in each Scan List
where you want them included.
You can also mix and match different object types in Scan Lists as you
see fit. Feel free to group your objects in the manner that best suits your
listening style. If you choose to group your objects by geographical area,
and find that the best set of Scannable Objects for your area includes a mix
of trunked talkgroups and conventional channels, go right ahead and put
them all in the same Scan List. There are no limitations as to the type of
objects that can exist together in the same Scan List.
How you group objects in Scan Lists is entirely up to you! Here are some
examples of how objects can be grouped:
Geographically
You may wish to group your Scannable Objects according to the areas
where they are used. For example, assume that you routinely travel to
another town to visit family. You can assign the channels and talkgroups for
fire and police services around your home to one Scan List, and those that
are located where your family lives in another. When you travel to visit your
family, you can no longer hear the Scannable Objects assigned to your
