Talkgroup Scan

Talkgroup scan lets a repeater or hotspot monitor active UK IPSC3 and connected-network traffic from a single programmed channel. Instead of manually chasing activity across different talkgroups, you park the radio on TG 777 TS1 and IPSC3 brings eligible live traffic back to you on that scan channel.

How it behaves

Scan mode is intended for monitoring active UK IPSC3 and connected-network traffic without manually chasing talkgroups.

Eligible traffic can include any approved connected networks but may not include all.

• Audio from the followed talkgroup is translated back to TG 777 TS1 for your repeater or hotspot.
• Replies made on TG 777 TS1 are translated back to the last active talkgroup automatically.
• When the active talkgroup goes quiet, IPSC3 returns the endpoint to scan mode.
• Audio feedback announces talkgroup connect and disconnect events so you know what the system is doing.

On the dashboard:

• The endpoint status changes from Connected to Scan.
• The dashboard Talkgroup and Speaker columns continue to show the active traffic being followed.
• TG 777 is not shown as a normal live conversation on the Live Talkgroup Status screen.

Leaving scan mode

To leave scan mode, key TG 400 or key another talkgroup directly. UK IPSC3 will cancel scan mode for that repeater or hotspot and return it to normal operation.

Repeaters can have scan mode disabled or session-limited individually by policy, so availability can vary by site.
