Viking Portable 600 Radio Operating Manual 5-23
Conventional Mode Features
locked to TG 2, and the user unlocks while on System A, System B will retain its
locked status.
Ο Talkgroup Lock will be retained through powerdown. Downloading a profile
through PCConfigure will erase all Talkgroup Lock settings.
Talkgroup select feature exit will operate as follows
- The exit buttons (Portable - F1, Mobile – “Exit”) will cause the feature to exit without
saving any talkgroup changes.
- The select buttons (Portable – F2, Active Function Button, Mobile – Select Knob
Button, Lightning Right Nav) will cause the feature to exit after saving the new
talkgroup.
4 Talkgroup Strapping
Talkgroup strapping will have priority over talkgroup lock. This means that a channel
with a strapped talkgroup will use its programmed talkgroup even if talkgroup lock is
turned on. Locking the talkgroup on a channel with a strapped talkgroup will set the
strapped talkgroup as the lock talkgroup.
5 Encryption
The radio will use the key that is assigned to the active TG unless the Override
Talkgroup Security Settings is active. In that case it will use the security parameters
that are defined in the Override section on the Zone page.
6 Scan
If Talkgroup Lock is enabled, the radio will only use the Lock Talkgroup for the
selected channel. The rest of the channels will use the programmed Talkgroup. This is
necessary so that the radio will not only monitor a single TG for all scan channels.
7 Emergency
If emergency is declared while the talkgroup is locked, the radio will use the
Emergency Talkgroup first if it is defined. If no emergency Talkgroup is defined it will
use the Lock Talkgroup.
5.13.8 P25 Unit Calls
Unit Calls (also called Individual Calls) can be placed to a specific radio on a Project 25
channel if the Unit Call option button or menu parameter is programmed. Only the
individual ID of the target radio is sent (a talkgroup ID is not sent). The radios that can be
called are pre programmed in the Unit Call list.
To receive a Unit Call, the RF channel of the call must be selected or scanned and the
correct NAC and unit ID must be detected. The ID of the calling radio is then transmitted
back. To respond to the call, the radio must be programmed with the Unit ID option button
or menu parameter, and have a Unit Call programmed for the ID of the calling radio.
