Trunking Operation
Dynamic Regrouping (Digital Modes Only)
The dynamic regrouping feature allows the dispatcher to temporarily
reassign selected individuals, operating in separate trunked
talkgroups, into a single group so that they can communicate.
Receiving a Dynamic Regrouping ID Assignment
(W7 and W9 Control Heads Only)
When your unit receives a dynamic regrouping ID assignment, a
unique chirp sounds to alert you that your unit has been dynamically
regrouped. The display shows the new dynamic mode name
assignment. Examples of the field-programmable dynamic mode
names include
16 DYNMC, 8 TACTCL.
• Press the PTT button. The radio makes a chirp and transmits
on the dynamically assigned mode.
After the dispatcher releases your mobile from the dynamic
ID assignment, your radio returns to the last selected, non-
dynamic regrouping mode.
• If no dynamic regrouping assignment has been made, a low-
pitched tone sounds if you attempt to select a dynamic
mode.
