check with your nearest qualified technician for more
details.
Note: If the receiving radio is operating in a Mixed
Mode channel, only if its voice transmission is via
conventional ASTRO system then it 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.

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

Using the Failsoft System

The failsoft system ensures continuous radio
communications during a trunked system failure. If a
trunking system fails completely, the radio goes into
failsoft operation and automatically switches to its
failsoft channel.
During failsoft operation, your radio transmits and
receives in conventional operation on a
predetermined frequency. You hear a medium-
pitched tone and the display shows FAILSOFT.
