ASTRO XTL 5000 Digital Mobile Radio with W4, W5, W7, and W9 83
Trunking Operation
Selecting Enable and Disable (Digital Modes Only)
The dispatcher may classify regrouped units into one of two
categories: select-enabled or select-disabled.
Requesting a Dynamic Regrouping
(W7 and W9 Control Heads Only) (Digital Modes Only)
Select-enabled Units are free to make mode changes to any of
the available talkgroups, including the dynamic
group.
Select-disabled Units cannot change modes because the
dispatcher has specifically chosen to force the
unit to remain in the dynamic mode.
Press (W7) or (W9) to request regrouping.
A high-pitched tone sounds, indicating your request was received by
the system’s central controller.
The display changes to
RPGM (W7) or RPGM RQST (W9) while the
request is being processed.
If the regrouping request is acknowledged, a dispatcher-
acknowledge signal sounds (four high-pitched tones), and the
display shows ACK RCVD.
The radio then returns to normal operation.
