 Cancel Changes

TGID Wildcard
 Radio ID
Alpha Tag
In the following step you will store a Wildcard talkgroup
with the number 65535. If you would rather store a
TGRP object for a specific talkgroup ID, just press the
number keys to enter the talkgroup ID of the desired
talkgroup, then press the SEL key to store the ID.
HINT: TGRP objects are also used to receive Private/
Individual Calls on trunking systems that support these
call types. Simply check the Radio ID check box. A
Wildcard TGRP object with Radio ID box checked will
monitor all Private/Individual Calls seen on the system,
or you can specify a radio ID to watch for in the ID:
field.
Scroll down to Save Changes and perform the save.
The Wildcard talkgroup allows you to hear everything
on the system.
If you entered an actual talk group, be sure to name
this TID by changing Wildcard to the talkgroup’s actual
name. You'll want to scroll down two more clicks to
the Tag: field and enter an easy to remember name for
your talkgroup that corresponds with its purpose on the
trunked radio system. For this example, lets assume that
this is a police dispatch talkgroup, and we would like to
use the name “POLICE DISPATCH” for the tag. Scroll
to the Tag: field and press the SEL key. Using the text
entry methods that you have previously employed for
naming your CONV and TSYS objects, name your new
talkgroup “POLICE DISPATCH”:
