Mission Critical Geofence (ASTRO 25 Trunking)

This feature allows the radio to use the GPS receiver to determine its location at frequent intervals and
evaluate if the radio is within the Geofence area in real time. Geofence is a virtual perimeter based on
the GPS to define a geographical area on earth.
When the radio enters the predefined Geofence area, your radio receives the Dynamic Regroup
command from the system and immediately connects to a Dynamic Regroup talkgroup. The radio
display shows the new selected Dynamic Regrouped talkgroup with green intelligent light for your
attention. Voice Announcement is also available to support this feature.
Any new text messages received at Geofence is displayed immediately on the radio display.
NOTICE:
If the radio is set up in DVRS, only mobile radio is supported for this feature.
The user navigation for this feature is not available for this model.

Talkgroup and also with same system ID of current trunk system. Once matched, the radio display
shows the first matched and connected channel alias.
If there is no channel with matching Talkgroup ID and trunk system ID, the radio display shows the
channel alias of <DYNAMIC talkgroup>.
