Initiating a Quick Call II Transmission
This feature allows the user to broadcast a series of distinct, recognizable tones before a voice transmission
from the dispatcher or a radio.
The broadcasting dispatcher or radio user can select this pre-programmed alert tone transmission to be sent
to an individual talkgroup or over the entire system. Each tone is distinctive to indicate different situation or
different broadcaster.
Note: The receiving radios must be configured with the Quick Call II tone in order for the radio to sound the
selected tone and also to sound a preconfigured alert tone after the selected tone has sound.
The broadcasting or transmitting radio must be pre-programmed to see the tone in the Quick Call II tone list.
The receiving radio must also be pre-programmed to decode the tone to broadcast.
