Conventional Radio Features
Conventional Talkgroup Calls
Digital Modes Only
This feature allows you to define talkgroups for your conventional
system. Talkgroups, combined with selective squelch operation, allow
groups of users to transparently share a conventional channel.
Talkgroups can be slaved to a personality through programming, or
you can select them.
Encryption keys are slaved to talkgroups. When conventional
talkgroups are enabled, encryption keys are changed by changing the
active talkgroup.
Selecting a Conventional Talkgroup
The Talkgroup Select feature allows you to manually select any one
of the available talkgroups.
1 Press the Tgrp button.
The display changes to show the last-selected talkgroup.
2 Turn the Mode knob (W4) or the Mode rocker switch (W5, W7,
W9) to choose a different talkgroup.
(W7 and W9 Control Heads) Talkgroups can be accessed by
direct keypad entry.
3 Press to save the talkgroup.
The radio returns to the home display.
