MULTIPLE SYSTEM AND TALKGROUP
SELECTION

Multiple System Selection

This radio has ten Systems, eight Talkgroups in
each system, and ten Conventional Systems or
Channels. GTX mobile radios allow the operator to
select up to ten systems to be programmed into
the radio. Each system may have its own unique
set of talkgroups, Call Alert paging, and Private
Conversation calls. After the system has been
selected, there is a delay of about one second
before the radio can receive or transmit calls.
Trunked Systems are identified as numbers 1
through 0 (10). This trunked system number is
always displayed on the left of the display
Conventional Systems or Channels sequentially
follow the last trunked system. However, conven-
tional systems appear as a number in the two
rightmost digits. The indication that the radio is on
a conventional system is seen when the display
shows no letter or special character.

TalkGroup Selection

A trunked radio system can be divided into differ-
ent talkgroups. This enables the system owner to
organize the talkgroups into communication groups
according to function. Members of a specific talk-
group hear only messages intended for their talk-
group.
Talkgroups are identified as letters in the right most
position on the display. The system is identified in
the middle position. An extended press of the talk-
group button will scroll up the list. Press the PTT
switch to transmit. The radio receives only those
messages intended for the talkgroup indicated on
the display. For example, if talkgroup B is selected,
you will not receive messages for talkgroup E.

Announcement Call

If the operator has a radio equipped with
announcement call, it is possible to call all mem-
bers in the talkgroup's list (RSS programmable). If
the operator is in announcement call mode and
multiple talkgroups are active, only the first call
received will be heard.
