Trunking System Controls

Failsoft

The failsoft system ensures continuous radio communications during
a trunked system failure. If a trunking system fails completely, the
radio goes into failsoft operation and automatically switches to its
failsoft channel.
During failsoft operation:
Your radio transmits and receives
in conventional operation on a
predetermined frequency.
You hear a medium-pitched tone
every 10 seconds
When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your radio
automatically leaves failsoft operation and returns to trunked
operation.

Out-of-Range

If you go out of the range of the system and can no longer lock onto a
control channel, you hear a low-pitched tone.
Your radio remains in this out-of-
range condition until it locks onto a
control channel, locks onto a
failsoft channel, or is turned off.
