ASTRO XTL 1500 Digital Mobile Radio with Control Head 67
Trunking Features
Dynamic Regrouping
This feature is programmed in each radio by a qualified radio
technician. During special operations, dynamic regrouping allows the
dispatcher to temporarily reassign selected radios to a single trunked
mode so they can communicate with each other.
Electronic (Menu) Mode Selection
Dynamic Regrouping is transparent to you until the dispatcher
activates it. You hear an invalid-mode tone if you select dynamic
regrouping from the radio menu and it is not active.
• If you hear a gurgle-like tone, dynamic regrouping is activated.
Transmit and receive as usual.
• When the dispatcher cancels dynamic-regrouping:
– The radio returns to the pre-dynamic regrouping mode if the
dynamic regrouping mode was selected.
– The radio remains active on the selected mode if the dynamic
regrouping mode was not selected.
Selecting Enable and Disable
The dispatcher can classify regrouped radios as select-enabled or
select-disabled.
• Select-enabled radios can be changed to any available mode
including the dynamic regrouping mode, once the dynamic
position is selected.
• Select-disabled radios can not be changed from the dynamic
mode that the dispatcher has selected.
Note: Scan, phone, and Private Conversation cannot be selected
while the radio is select disabled.
