Quick Call II (ASTRO P25 Digital Trunking and Conventional)
This feature allows the user to broadcast a series of distinct, recognizable tones before a voice
transmission from the dispatcher or a radio.
The broadcasting dispatcher or radio user can select this alert tone transmission to be sent to an
individual Talkgroup or over the entire system. Specific tone or series of tones are pre-programmed
into the radios to allow the dispatcher or supervisor to select a list of tones to broadcast before they
make their voice transmission. Each tone is distinctive to indicate different situation or different
broadcaster. The transmitting radio also plays back the tones for the broadcaster to listen.
NOTICE: The receiving radios must be configured with the Quick Call II tone in order for the
radio to sound the selected tone and also to sound a preconfigured alert tone after the selected
tone has sound.
