Here's my dilemma. I live in St. Mary's and like to listen to St. Mary's
EDACS and PAX Rivers Motorola Type 2. With the county sytem I like to just
scan my programmed user IDs. I don't get any excitement in listening to the
dogcatcher or the local bus sevice and Detention Center.With the Base I like
to scan everything. Information is very limited on the net as to the various
user IDs on base. The most Talkgroup IDs I have seen are about 8-10. So I
chose to simple method of not programming any. Hence my problem. How can I
scan my programmed user ids for the county system while searching the base
system so I can hear all of the base and only those Talkgroups in the county
I want to? I was curious if this can be done with the same scanner.

My current workaround is to use 2 scanners.  I am thinking about undertaking
the task of mapping out all the user groups on the base but its not very
often I have the time to sit and watch a scanner. I keep one on in the
background most of the time but can't keep an eye on it to catch the user
ids.
