CONV Priority Scan
When Object Priority is set to Yes for one or more CONV objects,
the scanner will sample the CONV objects for activity periodically
while scanning and monitoring other objects. This sampling will
cause a brief muting of received audio when it occurs while another
object is active. The more CONV objects that are set for Priority, the
longer this audio muting will be, since it takes a certain amount of
time to sample each Priority CONV object for activity.
TGRP Priority Scan
When Object Priority is set to Yes for one or more TGRP objects,
the scanner will give those TGRPs priority over other TGRPs while
checking a particular trunking system for activity. TGRPs configured
for Priority are checked for activity before any other TGRPs are
checked, and during the reply delay time after non-priority TGRP
calls.
Additionally, your PRO-197 decodes the subaudible priority data that
is present on analog Motorola talkgroup calls (3600 baud control
channel systems only), and will switch to a priority talkgroup when
the data for that talkgroup is found in the subaudible priority data.
Hit Counters
The Hit Counter feature that keeps track of how many transmissions
are received for each object type. The Hit Counter for an object
