Benefits and Ways to Use Radio Manager 2002

Easy Maintenance of Talkgroup Database Records

Using the Trunk Manager database format you can quickly add, update, and delete talkgroup records, which provide enhanced descriptions of channels in Radio Manager.

Unattended Logging (search for activity or lack of activity)

Radio Manager 2002 is a stable program and you can leave it running for days collecting data on channel activity, or perhaps, you’re looking for inactivity on certain channels. Combine Radio Manager 2002 with RecAll-Pro from http://www.sagebrush.com/ and RM2002 will stamp your RecAll-Pro .WAV file recordings with channel as well as time information, so you can play back a file and see what channel you are hearing.
AutoContinue can be enabled to continue scanning or searching after a number of seconds which you can specify. It’s a great way to make sure the scanner doesn’t get hung on a birdie or open mic.

Unattended Notification by Email of Activity on Selected Channels

Radio Manager’s EMail Notification function can tell you when selected channels are active when you are away from you scanner. It’s a great tool for news rooms and others who want to know when there is activity on seldom used channels like SWAT, EOCs, Aviation emergency channel, and the like. Requires scanner, PC, and internet connection to all be on. EMail your regular email, or pager/cell phone email address, or any number of combinations.

Across the Room Monitoring of Scanner Activity

Big Channel Displays make scanning more enjoyable and usable without tying you to your computer or scanner. You can choose very large fonts for several key areas of the screen, so that you can see channel descriptions across a room.
Use audible .WAV files to announce activity on selected channels.

Background Monitoring of Scanner with Always On Top Mini Window

Radio Manager’s Mini Window can be scaled down (and even up) and will remain On Top so that you can still see channel descriptions of scanner activity while you work in other programs.

These are just some of the great things about and ways to use Radio Manager. Please let me know of any innovative ways you’re using Radio Manager, so I can share them others.
