Zone Frequency

Post by vk2fmet » Mon Jun 22, 2020 11:22 am

When I move from location to location - repeater to repeater, the code plug (for DMR+) in particular will remain the same except for the repeater frequency.
I program my local repeater as a zone. I may program my hotspot as multiple zones, but one repeater is easily one zone.
Is it possible to change the frequency for the zone in one hit and not have to change it for all channel in the zone?

Here is how I would set it up:

1. Create digital contacts for the DMR+ talk groups
2. Create a TG List and add the DMR+ digital contacts to it
3. Create a channel for each DMR+ repeater. In the settings of each one set the "TG List" to the one that you created in step 2
4. Create a zone and add all the DMR+ repeaters (channels) to it

Now when you use the new zone you can change repeaters with the Up/Down arrows and change talkgroups with the Left/Right arrows.

ok - wonderful - I'll try it
As I said I'm still waiting for my 77, but this method is not possible on my current radio.
