The Talkgroup Select feature allows you to manually select any one
of the available talkgroups.

The display changes to show the last-selected talkgroup.
2 Turn the Mode knob (W4) or the Mode rocker button (W5, W7,
W9) to choose a different talkgroup.
(W7 and W9 Control Heads) Talkgroups can be accessed by
direct keypad entry.
3 Press the Sel button to save the talkgroup.
The radio returns to the home display.
Note: To select the default talkgroup, press the Sel button while
the radio displays
PRESET.
Selecting PRESET causes the radio to return to its
preprogrammed talkgroup.
To abort the talkgroup menu, press the HOME button or the
PTT button:
– Pressing the HOME button exits the talkgroup select menu
without saving the selected talkgroup choice.
– Pressing the PTT button exits the menu without saving the
selected talkgroup and allows the radio to transmit.
Note: If the encryption key slaved to the new talkgroup is erased,
the display shows
KEY FAIL and a momentary tone is
generated. If the encryption key that is slaved to the new
talkgroup is not allowed, the display shows
ILLEGAL KEY
and a momentary tone is generated.
