6.13.8 Talkgroup Steering Via System Access Permissions
In order to use system channel resources more efficiently, some system operators are 
using system access permissions to steer certain talkgroups to particular sites. For 
example, a police department may be allowed to use only Site 1, and a public works 
department may be allowed to use only Site 2.
The problem with this operation is that every time a different talk group is selected, the 
access permission may be different and a different site may need to be accessed. This 
could result, in a worst case, in a delay of up to 30 seconds in finding a new site. This 
could occur if there are no valid sites for the new talk group in the dynamic site list.
6.13.9 P25 Wide Area Scan
A feature called Wide Area Scan can be programmed to minimize the problem just 
outlined. This feature is programmed on the Talk Group list screen selected on the P25 
System screen. When Wide Area Scan is selected, talk group site preferences are no 
longer available. However, System Site Preference lists can still be used. The Wide Area 
Scan feature functions as follows:
Assume TG1 is selected. If it is the first time this talk group is selected, normal 
searching for a control channel occurs according to the hunt methods 
 
previously described.
When another talk group is selected, the active valid site for TG1 is stored in EEPROM 
memory.
The next time TG1 is selected, the following procedure is performed before performing 
the normal hunt methods previously described.
a
The last valid site ID and its receive and transmit channel numbers are loaded from 
EEPROM memory.
b
The dynamic site list is checked to see if any newer receive/transmit channel 
information is available for the last site ID.
c
The best receive/transmit information is used and the radio checks to see if this 
control channel is available.
The result of the preceding operation is that the radio has a reasonable chance of finding a 
valid site, usually on the first try. This greatly reduces access time, even on systems which 
have highly restricted talk group based access.
