Managing A Scan List For A User Device By A Privileged User

A method comprising:

• creating an explicit talk group list for a user device, the explicit talk group list created by the user device and comprising a plurality of first talk groups;
• creating an implicit talk group list for the user device, the implicit talk group list created by a privileged user device coupled with the user device and comprising a plurality of second talk groups;
• combining the explicit talk group with the implicit talk group to form a scan list;
• and
• removing, if the number of talk groups in the scan list exceeds a predetermined threshold, talk groups from the scan list until the number of talk groups in the scan list equals the predetermined threshold.

A privileged user device comprising a processor configured to:

• create an explicit talk group list for a user device, the explicit talk group list created by the user device and comprising a plurality of first talk groups;
• create an implicit talk group list for the user device, the implicit talk group list created by a privileged user coupled with the user device and comprising a plurality of second talk groups;
• combine the explicit talk group with the implicit talk group to form a scan list;
• and
• remove, if the number of talk groups in the scan list exceeds a predetermined threshold, talk groups from the scan list until the number of talk groups in the scan list equals the predetermined threshold.
