System-Wide Calls; Making Conventional Dispatch Calls - Motorola MTX-800 Classic User Manual

System-Wide Calls

The MTX-800 Classic (Type II)
trunked radio can receive system-
wide calls. This allows all radios
within a trunked system to hear a call,
regardless of talkgroup affiliation.
During a system-wide call,
normal talkgroup traffic is suspended.
Pressing the PTT will have no effect.
When the system-wide call is
complete, all radios will return to
normal dispatch operation.
Since the call is system-wide,
changes in talkgroup position are
ignored. However, it is possible to
change systems.
Making Conventional Dispatch
Calls
Select a conventional channel
using the toggle and rotary select
switches.
Press the PTT to talk. If the red
LED is lit, you are transmitting
normally (the channel is clear to use).
If you hear someone else talking
while the PTT is held, the channel is
in use. Release the PTT and try your
call again later.
When you have finished talking
(transmitting) release the PTT switch
to listen (receive).
