Conventional Mode Features
3 With wireless cloning, a screen is then displayed for entering the P25 Unit ID of the
destination (slave) radio. Enter this ID using the keypad (or the Up/Down keys) and
<F2>.
4 The clone mode “Zone” or “Complete” is then selected. Select the desired mode.
Operation is as follows:
Zone - This mode allows channel information for only the selected zone to be
transferred. Information programmed on the Global, Radio Wide, and Per System
screens is not changed. A list of the current conventional zones is displayed. Select the
desired zone by highlighting it and pressing the <F2> key. A selected zone is indicated
by an asterisk (*). Scroll to “OK” and press <F2> to begin the data transfer. The
selected zone in the slave radio is overwritten. Previously, multiple zones could be
selected and they were appended to those in the slave radio.
Complete - This mode transfers all conventional programming information. This
includes information on the Global, Radio Wide, and Per System screens. Simply
highlight “Complete” and press the <F2> key to begin the data transfer. This mode
overwrites all this information currently in the slave radio. None of the previous
information is retained except for the IDs as described in Section 5.13.
5.14 Project 25 Mode Features
The following features are unique to conventional P25 channels.
5.14.1 Digital Unit ID
Each radio that operates on Project 25 (digital) channels is programmed with an eight-digit
unit ID. This ID is unique for each radio and can be any number from 1-16,777,215. When
power is turned on with a Project 25 channel selected, this ID is briefly displayed.
5.14.2 Talk Group ID
Each Project 25 channel is programmed with a talk group ID that determines which group
of radios will receive the call. A call is received on a channel if a selected or scanned
channel is programmed with that ID and the correct NAC is detected (see following). Talk
group IDs can be any number from 0-65,535. Talk group ID detect can be disabled by the
Normal/Selective squelch function described in Section 5.4.1 or the monitor mode
described in Section 5.2
