Standard Group Calls
Standard calls are between you and another mobile, group of mobiles, or a control station
(a radio in a fixed location). Most calls are probably this type. Proceed as follows to place
and receive group calls.
6.3.1
Placing a Standard Group Call
To place a Standard Group Call:
1
Turn power ON and set the volume as described in Section 3. Select the channel
programmed for the talkgroup you want to call (see Section 3.1.7.1).
2
If the talkgroup is programmed for encryption and is not strapped to Clear or Secure,
select the desired mode by pressing the Clear/Secure option switch, soft button
(Lightning Control Head only), or selecting the menu parameter. The status of that
switch is ignored if the talkgroup is strapped to Clear or Secure, or if the “Ignore Clear/
Secure Switch when Strapped” is programmed. When you change to Secure mode, the
display will briefly display the Key Alias assigned to this encryption key. Refer to
Section 7.3 for more information.
