Page 47: Dynamic Regrouping
MM23772, Rev. B 7.28 DYNAMIC REGROUPING Dynamic regrouping requires that the network administrator determine which radio users should be formed into an impromptu talk group to respond to particular emergency conditions. The administrator will edit the personalities of the affected radios to include an emergency profile and then page the affected radios to re-register with the network to receive their edited personalities. -
