Trunktracker,
If your trunk.tsv has multiple system define as in the example trunk.tsv that get installed with op25 then the software will scan or sample all of the systems defined approximately every five seconds as long that the control channel that it is currently tuned to is idle. Voice traffic halts the scan or other systems and resets the timer. This feature is not real useful if your system are fairly busy as you'll end up missing a lot of traffic with the round robin taking place. Probably best to only have one system in your trunk.tsv file, but that is your choice to determine what works best for you.

Understood, thanks. In that case, I'll be doing just one system per file. And I seem to notice with the file names, it matters sometimes if you use spaces or capital letters because then it won't work.
So how about this question. While OP25 is running, how can I just tell it I wanna listen to a talk group number? Like say I just wanna type talk group ID 13000 somewhere in the screen to tell it to listen and hold on that. Is there a way to do this? Or maybe make the program show your list of talk groups in the file while the program is running and then you can click on what you want to hold on?

In Linux, case matters unlike DOS/Windows. So you must follow exactly the case and other characters in a filename or command.
use the whitelist feature in op25. Edit hills.tsv and add the single desired talk group ID between the existing quotes as shown below. Restart op25 and it will only monitor TG 13000 and be sure that you specify the TG value as a decimal and not in hex for this application. Note that you can add additional TG's to the whitelist by separating them with a comma and a space. Sometimes it makes more sense to leave the whitelist field blank and enter unwanted TG's into the blacklist field. It depends upon your own personal preferences. There is more to this process whereby you can create what amounts to text files to use in place of TG values populated in trunk.tsv (hills.tsv). Start with this method first.
"Sysname" "Control Channel List" "Offset" "NAC" "Modulation" "TGID Tags File" "Whitelist" "Blacklist" "Center Frequency"
"Hillsborough County" "769.28125, 769.80625, 770.33125" "0" "0x0" "CQPSK" "hills-tgids.tsv" "13000" "" "0"

So the only way is to have to quit OP25 and keep editing the file everytime? There isn't a way to just type in a talk group ID while the program is running?
