Introduction

4.Scroll the Tag: field and press the X key. Enter a new name for your duplicated object using the text entry method described in “Appendix C” of your User’s Guide. Press ENT or the Done softkey when you are finished.

5.Press the Save softkey to save your work. You now have a new object that has all of the attributes of the object you first duplicated, except for the changes that you made before saving.

The DUPE feature may also be used to add specific talkgroups to the preprogrammed data. For more information on the DUPE feature, refer to the “Duplicate (DUPE)” section of your User’s Guide.

About Talkgroup Names

The RadioReference database includes two fields that are used for naming talkgroups. The “Display” field is an abbreviated talkgroup name designed to fit into radio displays. The “Description” field is a longer text description of the talkgroup.

Your scanner is capable of displaying a maximum of 16 characters for the talkgroup name. If the RadioReference database included “Display” data for a talkgroup, we utilized it. However, if a talkgroup has no “Display” data associated with it, we used the contents of the “Description” field, which may not fit into the display space available on your scanner’s LCD display.

Using the Preprogrammed Data

There are four basic steps that are required in order for you to use the preprogrammed data in your scanner.

1.Examine the “Preprogrammed Data Directory” to see if your system is included.

2.Identify the V-Scanner folder that contains the desired system.

3.Load the appropriate V-Scanner folder into your scanner’s working memory.

4.Enable or disable Scan Lists as needed to select the system or systems that you wish to monitor.

Before proceeding, you may want to save the contents of the scanner’s working memory, which otherwise will be erased when you load a V-Scanner folder. Skip this section if you do not need to save the working memory.

To save the contents of your working memory:

1.Press FUNC PGM (PROG). The scanner will display the V-Scanner menu:

2.Press the Stor softkey. The scanner will display:
