TIP: Consider how you plan to organize your objects
for scanning. You can organize your scan lists
geographically, assigning objects for your location in
one list and objects for other locations in different lists.
You can organize your scan lists by trunking system,
assigning TGRP objects associated with specific trunked
radio systems to separate lists.
To rename a Scanlist:
1. Select Scanlist from the main menu, and then press
.
2. Select a Scanlist and press . The Scanlist name
appears.
3. Press  or  to move the cursor; press  or 
to change the character. Press SKIP to delete a
character.
To set priority objects. Priority is used only when
you want regular scanner operation interrupted to
hear something on your priority object(s):
1. Browse to the object and press Menu.
2. Select Priority and press . A checkmark ( )
indicates an Priority is selected. A square ()
indicates Priority is disabled.
NOTE: To set priority, Priority Mode must be enabled
in the Configuration menu. Setting any object as a
priority can cause normal scanner interruption.
Scanlist and Scan Sets
There are 20 Scan Sets that work in conjunction with
Scanlists to provide additional scan object selection
capability and flexibility. Each Scan Set contains a list
of all 200 normal Scanlists plus the special Skywarn®
Scanlist.
With Scan Sets you can quickly select large groups
of Scanlists to enable or disable, just by enabling or
disabling the Scan Sets that contain the desired groups
of Scanlists, instead of individually editing the list of
enabled Scanlists every time you want to change the
group of Scanlists you wish to monitor.
For example:
On Scanlists 01 through 30 you decide to put all of
City1. On Scanlists 31 through 50 you decided to put all
of City 2, on Scanlists 51 through 62 you decided to put
all of City 3. When you move from city to city, it would
take some time to individually toggle off the unwanted
scanlists and toggle on the new ones. This is where
Scan sets come in.
