If a channel disconnect occurs before the conversation ended, the call
must be initiated again. To avoid confusion it is recommended that a
procedure be set up so that the originator of the call is the one designated

call simultaneously may acquire two different channels making
communication impossible.

CONVENTIONAL FAILSOFT OPERATION

In the unlikely event of a failure of the EDACS System, communications
may take place in conventional failsoft mode. Your radio will be automatically
directed to a communications channel set up for this purpose. During this mode
of operation, your control unit displays "CONV FS" in the alphanumeric
display. You will also notice increased activity on your channel during
conventional failsoft operation, so be careful not to transmit until the channel
is clear.
Operation during conventional failsoft will be the same as operation on a
conventional system, except you cannot select a communications channel, or
use Emergency or Special Call. When trunking is restored, the radio
automatically returns to normal operation.
