Selecting TMO or DMO Operation

General
In Trunked Mode Operation (TMO) the MTM800E is used
with the infrastructure services within system coverage.
In Direct Mode Operation (DMO) the MTM800E is used
without infrastructure services required.
While operating in DMO the propagation travels directly from the
transmitting terminal antenna to the receiving terminal antenna,
with no assistance from any base station or tower. Therefore,
the range is critically dependent on the position of the user and
the antenna. To achieve best results, hold the terminal in the
hand as high as comfortably possible, and be sure not to
obstruct the antenna in any way. Be sure that the antenna is
clear from the body, cables, or other obstructions. As there is no
tower-mounted base station to assist, and the two users are
usually standing at ground level, the range is usually shorter
than that can be achieved towards a tower or hilltop. Any
obstructions (hills, buildings, etc.) between the users will further
decrease the range. Conversely, raising the terminal higher or
moving to a higher location may improve the range.
A MTM800E in DMO can communicate with the trunked
system (and vice-versa) through a gateway device. To use
