Trunked Versus Conventional Radio Operation - Motorola MTX-810 User Manual

Trunked Versus Conventional Radio Operation

Trunked
The MTX-810 trunked portable radio offers you many advantages, including fast
system access, enhanced privacy, and ease of operation. In a trunked system
there is no need for you to monitor (listen to) a channel before transmitting.
Conventional
In conventional mode, the MTX-810 radio performs like a conventional two-way
radio. You must monitor (listen to) the channel before transmitting to make
certain that you are not talking over someone who is already transmitting. This is
done automatically in the MTX-810 radio. When the PTT button is depressed the
radio will monitor the channel and begin transmitting provided the channel is clear
of other users. However, if the channel is in use, the radio will not transmit.
Instead it will activate the speaker audio to allow the user to listen to the activity,
already in progress on the channel.
