rather than a pulsed or discrete nature.
ARS Automatic Registration Service
ASTRO 25
Trunking
Motorola standard for wireless digital
trunked communications.
ASTRO
Conventional
Motorola standard for wireless digital
conventional communications.
Autoscan
A feature that allows the radio to
automatically scan the members of a scan
list.
AUX CH Auxiliary Control Head
Call Alert
Privately page an individual by sending an
audible tone.
Carrier Squelch
Feature that responds to the presence of

squelch circuit silences the radio when no
signal is being received so that the user
does not have to listen to “noise”.
Central
Controller
A software-controlled, computer-driven
device that receives and generates data for
the trunked radios assigned to it. It
monitors and directs the operations of the
trunked repeaters.
Channel
A group of characteristics such as transmit/
receive frequency pairs, radio parameters,
and encryption encoding.
CHIB Control Head Interface Board
Control Channel
In a trunking system, one of the channels
that is used to provide a continuous, two-
way/data communications path between
the central controller and all radios on the
system.
Conventional
