Vote Scan
Vote Scan provides you with wide area coverage in areas where
there are multiple base stations transmitting identical
information on different analog channels.
Your radio scans analog channels of multiple base stations and
performs a voting process to select the strongest received
signal. Once that is established, your radio unmutes to
transmissions from that base station.
The LED blinks yellow and the vote scan icon appears on the
status bar.
To respond to a transmission during a Vote Scan, follow the
same procedures as Responding to a Transmission During a
Scan on page 45.
Contacts Settings
Contacts provides “address-book” capabilities on your radio.
Each entry corresponds to an alias or ID that you use to initiate
a call.
Each entry, depending on context, associates with one of five
types of calls: Group Call, Private Call, All Call, PC Call or
Dispatch Call.
PC Call and Dispatch Call are data-related. They are only
available with the applications. Refer to the data applications
documentation for more information.
NOTE: If the Privacy feature is enabled on a channel, you
can make privacy-enabled Group Call, Private Call,
and All Call on that channel. Only target radios with
the same Privacy Key OR the same Key Value and
Key ID as your radio will be able to unscramble the
transmission.
See Privacy on page 82 for more information.
Additionally, Contacts menu allows you to assign each entry to a
programmable number key or more on a keypad. If an entry is
assigned to a number key, your radio can perform a quick dial
on the entry.
