Special Radio Features

Dynamic Regrouping (Trunking Only)

The dynamic regrouping feature lets the dispatcher temporarily

reassign selected radios to a single special channel so they can

communicate with each other. This feature is typically used during

special operations and is enabled by a qualiﬁed radio technician. You

will not notice whether your radio has this feature enabled until a

dynamic regrouping command is sent by the dispatcher.

If you try to access a zone or channel that has been reserved by the

dispatcher as a dynamically regrouped mode for other users, you will

hear an invalid tone.

Reprogram Request

This feature lets you notify the dispatcher that you want a new

dynamic regrouping assignment.

Use the Menu

When your radio is dynamically regrouped, it automatically

switches to the dynamically regrouped channel. You see the

dynamically regrouped channel’s name, and hear a “gurgle” tone.

Press the PTT button to talk;

release it to listen.

When the dispatcher cancels

dynamic regrouping, the radio

automatically returns to the

zone and channel that you

were using before the radio

was dynamically regrouped.
