Trunking Operation
Select Enable and Disable (Digital Modes Only)
The dispatcher may classify regrouped units into one of two
categories: select-enabled or select-disabled.
Request 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.
1 Press the Rpg (W7) or Rpgm (W9) button 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.
