During failsoft operation, your radio transmits and receives in conventional operation on a predetermined
frequency. You hear a medium-pitched tone and the display shows Failsoft.

returns to trunked operation.
To continue in Failsoft and to communicate with other talkgroups, refer to the following procedure.
Procedure:
1. Rotate the 16–Position Select Knob to change to a different repeater frequency.
2. Press the PTT button to talk, and release the button to listen.

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.
7.20.3
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.
7.20.4
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.
7.20.5
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.
7.20.6
Locking and Unlocking a Site
When and where to use: This feature allows your radio to lock onto a specific site and not roam among
wide-area talkgroup sites. This feature should be used with caution, since it inhibits roaming to another site in
a wide-area system.
