How to listen to 1 or 2 P25 P1 conversations

[wj ward]

Are there instructions for how to listen to just 1 or 2 conversations?

The P25 system where I live is very busy. There are so many users that its nearly impossible to keep track of any one conversation. I've tried creating a "blacklist" of radio IDs, and set the audio priority to "do not monitor". Then I started creating aliases of radio IDs want to hear. But, the IDs I want to hear only have 5 digits, not the normal 8 and SDRTrunk doesn't seem to be able to flag these.

I'm assuming that if I put the "audio priority" to a low number that it won't matter if the radio ID shows up in the "from" or "to' column. The audio should play even if the low number shows up in the "to" column, right?

I monitor a P25 P1 system here with a very busy simulcast site, and I created separate alias lists for different agencies I wanted to listen to by using the radio reference import feature, and using the talk group view tab moving those talk group IDs into a particular alias list. All of my TAlk groups IDs are 5 digits, which I believe is the standard for P25 systems. The 8 digits you mention may be the individual radio IDs, which I’m not sure how to group those, but using individual alias lists solves the issue of being able break down all of the talk groups operating on the P25 system here into smaller individual groups (EMS, Fire, PD, etc).
