Joes Scanner – Advanced Setup for mobile and web connections
Selecting Talkgroups
Narrow down what you hear with talkgroup selection.
Tap/click > Select TG
The top section are the groups.
Groups include both systems.
Choosing Off or On for groups as a whole turns affects all talkgroups in all systems.
You do not have to use groups.
The next sections are the systems.
Each system is labeled in the top left and has an Off and On button in the bottom right.
Off and On buttons affect all the talkgroups on that system only.
If you do not want to hear a system, choose Off for that system
You can toggle individual talk groups inside the systems. This makes it easy to remove channels such as Mall security, Court Security, LifeFlights, or other talkgroups that you might not have interest in.
Using Search
You can use the search function to review up to 24 hours of saved calls.
Tap/Select > Search Call
Choose a date and time in the previous 24 hours.
This will then list all calls from the time you selected.
The default sort order, descending, will list all calls prior to the time you selected.
Sort order Ascending will list all calls after the time you specify.
Narrow it down more by choosing specific Groups, Systems, Talkgroups, or Tags.
