This function key should be programmed under both conventional, and trunked key settings, to allow the modes to be switched in both directions.

  • Page 32: Selecting A Channel Or Group

    Selecting a channel or group Use the channel selection keys to scroll through the channel list until the channel or group you want is displayed. Your radio may also be programmed to use a function key to select a particular channel or group. A group is a collection of channels that are grouped together for either scanning or voting.

This function key should be programmed under both conventional, and trunked key settings, to allow the modes to be switched in both directions.

  • Page 43: Making A Preset Call

    Making a preset call The preset calls programmed for your radio may be to other radios, to PABX extensions or to PSTN numbers, or to perform a special function using a trunked call string (such as changing the current trunked network). Depending on how your radio is programmed, you may be able to use a function key to set up a preset call.

  • Page 44: Receiving A Call
