Special Radio Features

PTT ID

Receive

This feature allows you to see the radio ID number of the radio you
are currently receiving. This ID can be a maximum of eight characters
and can be viewed by both the receiving radio and the dispatcher.

Transmit

Your radio's ID number is automatically sent every time the PTT
button is pressed. This is a per-channel feature. For digital voice
transmissions, your radio's ID is sent continuously during the voice
message.

Trunking System Controls

Failsoft

The failsoft system ensures continuous radio communications during
a trunked system failure. If a trunking system fails completely, the
radio goes into failsoft operation, and automatically switches to its
failsoft channel.
During failsoft operation:
Your radio transmits and receives
in conventional operation on a
predetermined frequency.
You hear a medium-pitched tone
every 10 seconds.
When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your radio
automatically leaves failsoft operation and returns to trunked
operation.
