Conventional Analog and Digital
Modes
Each channel in your radio can be configured as a
conventional analog or conventional digital channel.
1 : Channel Selector Knob
Certain features are unavailable when switching from
digital to analog mode. The icons for digital features reflect
this change by appearing “grayed out”. The disabled
features are hidden in the menu.
Your radio also has features available in both analog and
digital modes. The minor differences in the way each
feature works do
not affect the performance of your radio.
NOTICE:
Your radio also switches between digital and analog
modes during a dual mode scan. See Scan on page
65 for more information.
IP Site Connect
This feature allows your radio to extend conventional
communication beyond the reach of a single site by
connecting to different available sites by using an Internet
Protocol (IP) network. This is a conventional multi-site
mode.
When the radio moves out of range from one site and into
the range of another, the radio connects to the repeater of
the new site to send or receive calls or data transmissions.
This is done either automatically or manually depending on
your settings.
In an automatic site search, the radio scans through all
available sites when the signal from the current site is weak
or when the radio is unable to detect any signal from the
current site. The radio then locks on to the repeater with
the strongest Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)
value.
In a manual site search, the radio searches for the next site
in the roam list that is currently in range but which may not
have the strongest signal and locks on to the repeater.
NOTICE:
Each channel can only have either Scan or Roam
enabled, not both at the same time.
Channels with this feature enabled can be added to a
particular roam list. The radio searches the channels in the
roam list during the automatic roam operation to locate the
best site. A roam list supports a maximum of 16 channels,
including the selected channel.
