Overview of a GTR 8000 Base Radio in a Trunked 3600 System

In a trunked 3600 system, the GTR 8000 Base Radio control channel runs at 3600 bps, and the voice
channels can be configured for analog or ASTRO
The base radio can be used in the following trunked 3600 SmartZone
• Trunked SmartX – 6809/MTC 3600 Site Controller Simulcast Subsystem
Depending on the system capabilities, each base radio can be configured for analog voice (4-wire
interface), digital voice (V.24 interface) or mixed-mode (4-wire and V.24 interfaces). These interfaces
connect to either a channel bank or ASTRO-TAC 3000 Comparator.
The base radio is available in the following frequency bands:
• 800 MHz
• UHF R1 (380–435 MHz)
• UHF R2 (435–524 MHz)
• VHF (136–174 MHz)
NOTICE: A GTR 8000 Base Radio can be implemented as a QUANTAR
trunked 3600 SmartZone
for Replacing a Trunked 3600 QUANTAR with a GTR 8000 Base Radio manual.

Power Efficiency Package

The GTR 8000 Base Radio is available in a Power Efficiency Package, which provides low standby
power consumption (see
25 Conventional base radios and trunked base radios operating in the UHF-R1 and UHF-R2 frequency
bands. The Power Efficiency Package optimizes the power consumption for supported base radios for
the use of power generated from alternate energy sources such as solar or wind.
