Trunking Operation
Call Alert Page (Digital Modes Only)
The Call Alert feature allows a unit to selectively alert another unit,
and to determine whether or not that unit received the alert. A Call
Alert page can be initiated after an unsuccessful Private Conversation
call or as a separate feature.
All Control Heads are capable of responding to a Call Alert initiated by
another radio. The following further describes each Control Head’s
capability:
• All Control Heads: Feature a unique list of up to 19
preprogrammed ID numbers. A name can be assigned to each ID
in the list for your convenience.
• W7 and W9 Control Heads: In addition to a list of 19 IDs, these
Control Heads feature unlimited Call Alert page capability using a
full,12-button keypad.
