The Group List feature in vehicular and handheld radios allows the radio to monitor more than one talkgroup on a given channel position, without having to use scan. For example, to hear messages from either the Worldwide or North America talkgroup without scanning or switching channels, you create a Group List containing both Talkgroups, and assign that Group List to a physical channel on your radio.
One significant limitation on Motorola radios is that you can only listen to talkgroups that share the same timeslot that is programmed for that physical channel position. In Hytera radios, the physical channel position can be configured for a feature called "Pseudo Trunk" that allows the radio to listen for messages on either timeslot. This allows a Group List to contain talkgroups from any timeslot.
Groups Lists are compatible with Roaming. Thus, if you assign a Group List to each repeater included in a Roam List, you will hear transmissions from those Group List talkgroups when you roam to that specific repeater.
