When group scan is programmed on a system, calls are received on all selectable groups, regardless of which is
selected. In addition, the display automatically changes to the group on which the call is received. Without group scan,
calls are received on only the selected group of each system. Groups can be deleted from the scan list using the LCK
key as described in "Scan List Programming". Group scan is not available on conventional systems.
Priority Calls
The Multi-Net systems of your transceiver may be programmed with fixed ID codes as well as selectable groups. Calls
on fixed ID codes are received regardless of which group is selected or group scan programming. In addition, calls on
these ID codes have a higher priority than calls on selectable groups. Therefore, if your transceiver detects a call on a
fixed ID code while you are listening to a call on a selectable group, it will immediately switch to the call on a fixed ID
code. When a call is received on fixed ID 1, "RX PRI1" is displayed, and when a call is received on fixed ID 2, "RX
PRI2" is displayed. To turn off this indication, press any command key except backlight.
Transmit Inhibit
The Transmit Inhibit feature prevents your transmitter from keying if the mobile you are calling is busy with
another call. It can be programmed on each Multi-Net system by your system operator. When the transmitter is disabled
by this feature, the intercept tone sounds and "TX INHIB" is displayed.
To make another call attempt, the push-to-talk switch must be released and then pressed again. However, you
should wait at least 5 seconds because an internal timer must count down before the attempt will be successful. One use
of this feature is to prevent the accidental interruption of a call in progress. It may also be used to provide an audible
indication that the mobile you are calling is busy. A different Transmit Disable On Busy feature is available on conven-
tional systems.
Auto-Registration
In some radio systems, several sites may be linked together to provide wide area coverage. The Auto-registration
(Roaming) feature may then be used so that calls can be automatically routed to the correct site. To have this feature, it
must have been programmed by your system operator and system scanning must be enabled by the SCN key. In addi-
tion, the quick select switch must not be turned to a locked position (see "Quick Select Switch").
Auto-registration operates as follows: When you move out of range of the current site, the transceiver automati-
cally begins searching for another site. While it is searching, "SCN" flashes in the display. When a new site is located,
"SCN" is again displayed continuously and the selected system/group changes to the new site. The new system is the
first system programmed for a different site that could be accessed, and the group does not change (it is the same as it
was before auto-registration occurred).
Busy Queuing
The Busy Queuing feature places the call in a queue if the repeater system is busy when the call is placed. Then
when the system becomes available, a tone sounds and the call can be placed if desired. Busy queuing can be enabled or
disabled on all Multi-Net systems by system operator programming. It functions with both standard and special calls.
The Busy Queuing feature operates as follows:
If the radio system is busy, the busy tone sounds. (Without queuing, no tone sounds because the clear-to-talk
tone sounds only when a successful access is made.) The queue mode is then entered automatically when the PTT
switch is released. The queue mode is indicated when the busy tone stops sounding and "QUEUED" is displayed.
Then when the system becomes available, either a beeping tone or dial tone sounds. The beeping tone is heard if a
