8.5 Making a Group Call
Group Call can be used to initiate a call to a group and establish voice calls in the group.
The transceiver can initiate a call to the transceivers having the same Group ID by specifying the Group ID. The
transceiver can also initiate a call to all transceivers by specifying the Group ID for which "ALL" is configured.
Initiating a Group Call
Group Call can be started by one of the following methods.
 Selcall on PTT
The transceiver initiates a Group Call when the PTT switch is pressed on a channel where "Group Call" is configured
for Selcall on PTT (NXDN). A Group ID of the target transceiver can be configured for each channel by selecting one
Group ID from the Group ID List by using KPG-169D/ KPG-170D.
 Talkback
By pressing the PTT switch while the Auto Reset Timer is counting down after the transceiver receives a Group Call,
the transceiver can respond (Talkback) with Group Call to the received Group ID.
