First of all I must say that I absolutely love Freescan. It does everything that I possibly need done except this:

Is there any way to print a list of number tags that I may have assigned to channels? I've got thousands of channels in my BCD396XT and I've given numbers tags to the most important channels that I want to get to quickly and easily. But it's getting hard to keep track of which particular channels I've assigned number tags to and it's even harder to remember what those number tags actually are. Basically I know that I gave a special channel a number tag but I don't remember what the number tag is so I've got to wait until I get home to look up the the channel in Freescan.

I'm hoping Freescan has a nice utility to list any channels that have numbers tags (along with the associated system number tag). This way, if I look at the list and want to get to a channel that has number tag 630 in a system that has number tag 2 I can just input 2.630 and go directly to that channel. Without a nice number tag listing the number tags can quickly get out of hand, hard to manage, and inevitably not as usefull as they could be.

The number tag list could be as simple as:
System                      Channel name     Number tag
Fire Departments        Smallville FD       2.630

If there is no system number tag for the system that the channel is under it the system could be replaced by an 'x' simply to indicate that the user might want to think about adding a system number tag to be able to access the channel directly.
Fire Departments        Smallville FD       x.630

Hopefully something like this exists in Freescan. If not, hopefully it can be added.
Thanks !

You can print out number tags by selecting the Customize Layout tab in the Print dialog, then checking off the Number Tag checkboxes. I will add system tags to the next version.

Thanks Assaf. Adding system keys to the prinout would be great. It would also be nice to be able to print out an exclusive list of channels to which the user has assigned assigned number tags. On the Print tab on the Print dialog there is currently a "Print Quick Key Summary" checkbox. Maybe there could be another checkbox that might be called "Print Number Tag  Summary" that would only print out the channel name, the system tag, and number tag for any channel that had a number tag. That's what I was trying to illustrate by my example.
System                      Channel name     System tag/Number tag
Fire Departments        Smallville FD       2.630

Thanks you.
