82 Operating in P25 trunking mode
While you are transmitting, the LED glows red and
appears in the display.
Receiving a talkgroup call
To hear calls from other members of a talkgroup,
your radio must have that talkgroup selected, or the
talkgroup must be part of an active scan group.
For information about selecting a talkgroup, see
"Making a talkgroup call" on page 80, and for
information about talkgroup scanning, see "Activating
talkgroup scanning" on page 94.
When you receive a call from a talkgroup, the radio
displays the name or the identity of the talkgroup, and
that of the calling radio.
Making an individual call
Caution In some situations, your call will not
proceed. For an explanation of the radio behavior, see
"Unconnected calls" on page 86.
To make a call to one radio on a trunking system:
1 Press Menu and select Individual call.
(The person to whom you last made an individual
call is highlighted.)
Depending on your radio model and how it is
programmed, you may be able to dial the identity
of the radio you want to call, press a function key
or use your Quick Access menu to select an
individual call.
