Specifications

Wide Area Scan (Optional)
When the radio unit loses the control channel of the
current system, the radio automatically begins searching for
a new control channel. The intelligent search algorithm uses
a preprogrammed map of adjacent systems to ensure mini-
mum transition time.
Dynamic Regrouping (Optional)
The unit is capable of being reprogrammed over the air
while the radio is still active. Multiple talk groups can be
added to a radio unit or optionally, the radio can be forced to
communicate on designated talk groups.
GE-MARC (Only) FEATURES
Talk Around (Direct Mode)
The radio is capable of a direct unit-to-unit short range
communication link. It is intended to maintain communica-
tions outside the coverage area.
