Viking Mobile Radio Operating Manual
User is able to direct entry a Talkgroup or select a Talkgroup from a list. The
selected Talkgroup will permanently replace the selected channel's Talkgroup.
If Direct Entry and the Talkgroup does not exist in the radio's profile, the
Talkgroup is replaced and the radio will automatically enable the Override
Talkgroup Security Settings on the Zone page. The current Override settings will
be used for that Talkgroup since it doesn't reside the radio's profile.
For Direct Entry, a valid Talkgroup of 1 - 65535 must be entered, otherwise the
radio will display Invalid TG and bad beep.
If Talkgroup is entered via Direct Entry and the talkgroup resides in the Armada
profile, the radio will store the Talkgroup as the Lock Talkgroup and will exit
menu mode.
If the Talkgroup is entered via Direct Entry and the Talkgroup does not reside in
the Armada profile, the radio will display Invalid TG and bad beep.
If the Talkgroup is selected from the list, the radio will store the Talkgroup as the
Lock Talkgroup and will exit menu mode.
If Talkgroup Lock is enabled, no permanent changes will be made to the selected
Talkgroup, only the Lock Talkgroup will be affected.
