Peer-Location on the Display (ASTRO Conventional only)

This feature is only available for radio-to-radio voice transmissions, dispatch call and selective call in
conventional ASTRO system. For radio-to-radio transmission, in order to allow the radio to show peer-
location, the voice should be directly sent from one radio to another radio without passing through any
infrastructure facility such as repeaters, phone, or DVRS system. Both the transmitting radio and
receiving radio must be configured to enable them to send and/or receive the GPS coordinates. You
can check with your nearest qualified technician for more details.
NOTICE: If the receiving radio is operating in a Mixed Mode channel, and the voice
transmission is through the conventional ASTRO system then the radio can receive the location
coordinates of its peers.
This feature is also operable in a Scan Active channel or Scan Talkback channel.
Upon receiving a voice transmission with GPS coordinates enabled on the receiving radio, the display
shows the coordinates available in full or in short coordinates. There are two different formats
available. Refer to the following list for the details shown in the Peer-Location quick text. Consult your
agent to pick the best format to configure to your radio.
Full location coordinates
• PTT ID (This is optional.)
• Longitude and latitude
• Relative distance or direction
Short location coordinates
• PTT ID (This is optional.)
• Longitude and latitude
NOTICE:
If the transmitting radio is stale at its location after a period of time, the receiving radio display
shows ID:<PTT ID> LKL: <Coordinates> <distance>. If the radio is not configured to
show PTT ID, you see LAST KNWN LOC: <Coordinates> <distance>.
If the transmitting radio does not have GPS or the receiving radio could not decode the GPS
signal of the received signal, the receiving radio display shows ID:<PTT ID> UNK LOC. The
PTT ID seen here is optional to be shown on the display per requirement of usage.

Trunking System Controls

This chapters explains the trunking system control features in your radio.

Operating in Failsoft System

When and where to use:
The failsoft system ensures continuous radio communication during a trunked system failure. If a
trunking system fails completely, the radio goes into failsoft operation and automatically switches to its
failsoft channel.
