Dynamic Regrouping (Trunking Only)

This feature allows the dispatcher to temporarily reassign selected radios to a particular channel where
they can communicate with each other. This feature is typically used during special operations.
When your radio is dynamically regrouped, it receives a dynamic regrouping command and
automatically switches to the dynamically regrouped channel. You hear a gurgle tone and the display
shows the name of the dynamically regrouped channel.
When the dispatcher cancels dynamic regrouping, the radio automatically returns to the previous zone
and channel that you were using.
If you access a zone or channel that has been reserved as a dynamically regrouped mode for other
users, you hear an invalid tone.
