Talk group / CPS programming question

[N0PEU]

Hello,

I am new to the world of DMR, but not new to Ham Radio / Computers.

I have setup a code plug for my surrounding area repeaters. I followed the order of creating contacts for talk groups, then talk group lists, then finally channels that had the talk group lists.

A problem a fellow blind user and I have found is when on a repeater we hear activity from talk groups that we have not selected. For example our local repeaters are on DMR-MARC and we select Nebraska (3131) on the radio. We can hear traffic on Tri-state (31691). Is that the expected behavior?

Next question: How as a blind user can we identify the talk group being used by the stations we are hearing? The radio gives a chirp but that is all we get to know the talk groups do not match.

Thanks,

He suggests alwasys pressing SK2 if you are not sure what TG you are receiving

Thanks for the quick reply.

We are still learning the radio and the world of DMR.

This is the most independent access we have had to a radio and it’s settings.
