Using Multi-Site Mode On Networked Systems

Some Motorola and P25 systems include a large number of sites
that are networked together to provide radio coverage to a large
geographical area. These types of trunked radio systems are
more commonly used for large statewide systems, and for some
systems that are used in large, rural counties.
These networked trunked radio systems work in a manner that is
very similar to a cellular telephone network. As a system user
moves around (or "roams") in the coverage area of the network,
their radio will automatically find and use the nearest tower site.
Each tower site includes a number of channels. One of these
channels is used for control channel data, and the remaining
channels are used for voice traffic. As a user moves away from
the coverage of one site, their radio will search other control
channel frequencies for a better site to use.
Your 0716 includes a Multi-site feature that can enhance the
operation of the scanner when monitoring Multi-site systems.
Multi-site can be enabled editing the trunking system (TSYS)
parameters for a Motorola or P25 system. Multi-site can be set to
Off, Stat(Stationary) or Roam. By default, Multi-site is set to OFF.
The ROAM setting is ideal for those times when you are driving
around in the service area of a networked trunked radio system,
as it allows the radio to find and use the best tower sites as you
move in and out of the coverage footprints of different sites. The
STAT(ionary) setting is ideal for those times when you are not
moving and are within range of more than one tower site, as it
