6.12 Dynamic Regrouping
The dynamic regrouping feature allows a dispatcher to change the current talkgroup or
switch radios to a predefined regrouping channel to receive a new talkgroup. When the
console issues a regroup order, the radio switches to the designated regroup talkgroup.
Note For certain SMARTNET/ SmartZone dynamic regrouping operations (such as pre-
recorded messages) to function properly, the regroup talkgroup must be defined in the
system talkgroup table. Otherwise the radio cannot determine whether the regroup
talkgroup is analog or digital.
If the Cancel Dynamic Regrouping option switch is programmed, it can be pressed to exit
the dynamic regrouping mode. The mode can also be exited through the menu.
Otherwise, if the lock mode was not specified, the selected talkgroup can be manually
changed and the previous talkgroup is reselected if power is cycled. If a locked regroup
command is received, the displayed talkgroup cannot be changed manually or by cycling
power. It can be changed only after a clear order is received from the console.
Dynamic regrouping operates as follows:
1 When this command is received, alternating tones sound and the radio automatically
changes to the regrouping talkgroup. The display shows the alias entered for the
dynamic regroup enabled channel. If the Lock Order was sent with the Dynamic
Regrouping Order, the mobile with no user involvement moves to the pre-defined
Dynamic Channel.
2 If a pre-defined channel was changed above, go to Step 3. Manually select the channel
corresponding to that alias. If this is not done, transmission still occurs on the new
channel, but the alternating tones sound each time the PTT switch is pressed. If you did
not have a pre-defined channel, the talkgroup of the channel you are on is temporarily
changed. If this happens and you change channels, you lose the temporary talkgroup.
3 Talk and listen as usual. When dynamic regrouping is canceled by the dispatcher, a
short tone sounds. If a standard channel is not selected after this occurs, transmission is
not allowed if the talkgroup is assigned as a dynamic regrouping talkgroup only. If it is
assigned as a normal talkgroup, normal transmissions are allowed. When a Cancel
order is received, the mobile moves back to your last channel unless the Lock order was
received.
