ASTRO Conventional Talkgroups within an ASTRO Conventional
Talkgroup List. The factory default is 1.
Talkgroup Alias Enabling this field allows the subscriber unit to display the Talkgroup
Alias instead of the Talkgroup ID during Talkgroup Selection.
The alias can provide any textual reference which conveys a useful
meaning for the Talkgroup to the user. For example, if the Fire
Department has a Talkgroup ID of 01234, an alias of ‘FIRE DEPT’ will
perfectly describe what this group is to the users, and the users no
longer need to remember that the numerical Talkgroup ID of 01234 is
for the Fire Department. The factory default is Enabled.
Talkgroup ID This field is a five-digit decimal number designating a Talkgroup. Each
Talkgroup in the Talkgroup List must have a Talkgroup ID. The valid
range is 00001 to 65535. The factory default is 00002.
Talkgroup Alias Test Each Talkgroup in the Talkgroup List may have a Talkgroup Alias. The
Alias is designed to be a more meaningful shorthand description for
the Talkgroup to the user. For example, if the Fire Department has a
Talkgroup ID of 01234, an alias of ‘FIRE DEPT’ will perfectly describe
what this group is to the user, and the user no longer needs to
remember that the numerical Talkgroup ID of 01234 is for the Fire
Department. The factory default is ‘TG 00002’.
Voice Secure/Clear Strapping This field enables the user to configure the Talkgroup’s transmit mode.
Three options are available:
The factory default is Select.
Clear The radio transmits to the Talkgroup without any voice
encryption.
Secure The radio transmits to the Talkgroup using a Secure Key.
If the radio is Multikey capable, the Secure Key is
defined by the Key Index selected for the Talkgroup. If
the radio is single key capable, the Secure Key is the
single Secure Key.
Select The user is allowed to select either the Clear or Secure
transmit mode via the Secure Select Switch. If the radio
is Multikey capable and transmitting in the Secure
mode, the Secure Key is defined by the Key Index. If the
radio is single key capable, and transmitting in the
Secure mode, the Secure Key is the single Secure Key.
