Programming Talkgroups
For many of the trunk scanning features to operate, you need to program the scanner with the talkgroup ID’s. Each bank can store up to 100 talkgroups in 10 ID groups of 10 talkgroups each. Group similar talkgroups together in the same ID group. When scanning, you can turn ID groups on and off with a quick keypress.
