Conventional Features
Talkgroup Calls
This feature enables your system manager to define a group of 
conventional system users who can share the use of a conventional 
channel. Talkgroups can be associated with a personality as 
programmed by your system manager, or you can select them 
yourself.
If you have a radio that is secure-equipped, encryption keys are 
slaved to talkgroups. When talkgroups are enabled, encryption keys 
can be selected by changing the active talkgroup. (See “Secure 
Features” on page 97 for more information.)
