Site Selectable Alerts (ASTRO 25 Trunking) †‡
A Site Selectable Alert (SSA) is an Intelligent Lighting indicator with audio alert. The alert is sent to
radios at sites to notify the users when special situations occur.
Your radio supports up to 250 site aliases. Only authorized radios are enabled to send SSA.
NOTE:
The alert alias, alert tone, and alert period are configured in the Customer Programming
Software. Contact your system administrator for more information.
The SSA alert volume is reduced when voice audio is received at the same time. It is important
that the SSA audio file is created with clear loud audio to ensure audio clarity at reduced levels.
