PLANNING SYSTEMS, SITES, AND GROUPS
Planning your systems will be very important even if you do have the software.
Number Tags Numbers for system and channel tags can range from 0 to 999.
Systems can have the same number tag but you will get a warning. Same warning
applies to channels. You can assign number tags to channels even if the system
does not have a number tag but, without a system number tag, you can only
navigate to these channels while holding or scanning in that system. See also Using
Number Tags.
If two systems/searches have the same number tag, they will be selected in
sequence (the rst time you select the number tag, the scanner will go to the rst
system/search assigned to that number tag; if you select the same number tag
again, it will go to the 2nd system/search assigned to that number tag, and so on).
The same rule applies to channel number tags (so don’t start at 1 for each channel
group in the system).
Alerts You can program your scanner to alert you when, a channel is received, you
receive a Close Call hit, a talkgroup ID is transmitted with an emergency alert, you
get close to a POI (Point of Interest)/Dangerous Road/Dangerous Crossing, or you
receive a Tone-Out hit. For each alert in the scanner, you can select from 9 different
tone patterns, 15 volume settings, and 2 ash patterns.
