Uniden’s Trunktracker scanner displays hexadecimal (HEX) talk group IDs as decimal values. It was not possible to make a 7 segment LCD character gracefully handle the alphanumerics that would be required for a HEX display on the First Generation Trunktrackers. There are also issues regarding the difficulty of easy alpha (alphabetical) keypad entry of hex codes. Therefore the “Uniden” style of Talkgroup expression was devised.
