Sadly it seems that Mototrbo conventional usage is on the rise. This is yet another format that can't be monitored out of the box. In RR, these freqs have 'TRBO' in the mode field. Here are a few examples

Look at the Verizon Center freqs

Look at the 'County Services' listing

Can we get a warning when attempting to import these? It would be similar to the logic used to block sending digital channels

thanks..Mike

I will look into an option for skipping these for import. I generally avoid using popup warnings unless they are really, really needed.

You could use a warning much like is being done when you try to import a trunk system that can't be monitored, like ProVoice

The problem with doing that is that the information isn't available until the group channels are downloaded. Because of the painfully slow speed of the new webservice, I can't predownload the groups either. So they would get the warning while the channels are being downloaded and zipping by and that probably wouldn't be useful.

However, I think I will add an option to the next version to allow skipping of channels that can't be monitored.
