Cannot create duplicate TGs with different TS overrides
Posted: Tue Jun 30, 2020 6:42 pm
I really like the ability to assign a timeslot override to a talkgroup (digital contact) so that I can create one channel per repeater, instead of two (one per repeater time slot) or worse yet, one channel per repeater per talkgroup.
I have a challenge, however in that among repeaters for which I wish to program the radio, some place the same talkgroup on different timeslots. For example, repeater A requires me to use timeslot 1 with talkgroup 3169, while repeater B requires me to use timeslot 2 with talkgroup 3169.
"No problem!" I thought. "I'll just create two digital contacts for talkgroup 3169, one with a timeslot 1 override and one with a timeslot 2 override.
But no!
When I try to create the second digital contact, the community CPS prohibits this, returning an error that reads, "ID already exists."
Am I missing something, or am I stuck with creating two channels for each of these repeaters (one for each timeslot), so that I can use the same talkgroup on different timeslots, depending on the requirements of each repeater?
