ASTRO XTL 5000 Digital Mobile Radio with W4, W5, W7, and W9 75
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.
Receive 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.
