Making Priority Dispatch Calls
The Priority Dispatch feature allows you to call the dispatcher on a different talkgroup when a talkgroup
is congested. This talkgroup is called the Priority Talkgroup. Each trunking talkgroup can have an
assigned Priority Talkgroup. Priority Dispatch is not available in Emergency operations. The Scan
feature is suspended when Priority Dispatch is initiated.
Prerequisites: The dispatch console that supports this feature must be programmed to use this
feature. For more information, contact your system administrator.
