Trunking Features
Site Trunking
SITE TRUNKING is alternately displayed (if so
programmed) with the selected mode whenever
the radio’s usable site is not communicating with
the SmartZone controller. You can only
communicate with other radios operating at the same site when SITE
TRUNKING is displayed. No wide-area calls can be made from a site-
trunking site.
Failsoft
If a trunking system experiences a complete
failure, the radio will revert to failsoft operation
and automatically switch to its failsoft channel.
During failsoft, trunking repeaters will transmit a
medium-pitched tone every 10 seconds. The radio periodically leaves
failsoft to search for a trunking site. The radio returns to failsoft if no
trunking sites are found.
If you press the PTT button while the radio is searching for a trunking
site, the radio returns to failsoft and transmits. In failsoft, you can only
communicate with other radios on the same mode and site. No wide-
area call can be made from a failsoft mode. When the trunking
system returns to normal operation, your radio will automatically
leave the failsoft operation and return to trunked operation.
