are members of enabled Scan Lists and are not locked out.

Wildcard Scanning

A Wildcard TGRP object allows you to receive all radio trafﬁc on

a trunked radio system. It works by catching talkgroup calls on the

system that are not already stored as objects in the radio’s memory.

In order for the Wildcard TGRP to function properly, the radio needs

to be in SCAN Mode. This is what enables the scanner to ﬁnd the

previously stored TGRP objects that need to be checked before

declaring that the found talkgroup is new and should be scanned as

a Wildcard “hit.”

If you park on a Wildcard TGRP object in Manual Mode, the scanner

is not able to “see” the previously stored TGRP objects, and every

call on the trunked radio system will come up as a wildcard hit.
