Imbalanced Coverage

Imbalanced coverage occurs when the radio is able to receive the control channel but is unable to
transmit back to the system. The radio generates a periodic tone and displays No Comms.
7.24.3

Out-of-Range Radio

Your radio can no longer lock onto a control channel when out-of-range from the system.
When out-of-range, your radio shows the following indications:
• A tone sounds.
• The display shows the currently selected zone or channel combination, and out-of-range
notification.
Your radio remains in this out-of-range condition until it locks onto a control channel or failsoft channel,
or if it is turned off.
7.24.4

Site Trunking Feature

If the Zone Controller loses communication with any site, that site reverts to site trunking. When this
occurs, you can communicate only with the radios within your trunking site.
The display shows the currently selected zone or channel, and the site trunking message.
7.24.5

Site Search

When searching for a site, your radio is inoperable. In the site search mode, your radio scans for
trunked control channels but has yet to connect to the trunking system or reach other trunking states.
Other trunking states are such as Out of Range and Imbalanced Coverage.
The Searching site indicator alerts you that your radio is attempting to search for a valid trunked
control channel.
