Here is a question that I get asked from time to time:

\\xa0

\\u201cHow do I optimize the scanning lists in my scanner?\\u201d

\\xa0

This is an important question, because when our scanners are scanning, we can miss transmissions elsewhere.\\xa0 So it is important to be as efficient as possible when setting up your scan lists.

\\xa0

\\xa0

Now, the answer may not be as straight forward as you might think, so here is my thought process on setting up a scan list on a radio:

\\xa0

What You Need To Know

• We break down several different scenairos on the podcast and what might work best for each one
• Conventional memory planning is the easiest and most straight forward
• Dynamic Memory Allocation makes setting up scan lists a little easier than hard coded frequencies per bank units do
• Each time a scanner enters a trunk site, it has to sit an monitor that site
• This can slow down our scanners if we have multiple trunk sites on a system
• This can also slow down our scanners if we have many trunk systems in our scan lists
• The trick is to balance out what we are trying to accomplish with our scan lists
• It doesn\\u2019t hurt to setup different scan list configurations and see what works best for you
• Sometimes splitting the load between multiple radios can be the most efficient way of scanning
