Operating in P25 trunking mode 87
Failsoft mode operation
If your radio is unable to access the trunking system,
it may be programmed to enter failsoft mode. Failsoft
mode operates in one of two ways: ‘radio-based’
failsoft and ‘infrastructure’ failsoft.
Radio-based failsoft
When you lose access to the trunking system, no
longer appears, the bars in the RSSI icon disappear
, and the display shows No service.
After a short time, your radio switches to a
programmed conventional communications channel.
The radio remains on that channel until you select a
trunked talkgroup with access to the trunking system.
Infrastructure failsoft
Your radio receives a message from the trunking
infrastructure to say that the trunking system is now
operating in failsoft mode.
While in failsoft mode, the display shows Failsoft, and
the radio sounds a repeating double beep. The double
beep continues until normal service is restored.
