Gateway and repeater
Your organisation may have separate direct mode gateway devices
or direct mode repeater devices. The devices operate on certain
frequencies, and offer an additional service to your radio when the
radio is in a coverage area of a compatible device, and operates in
the direct mode on the same frequency as the device.
When the radio is on a direct mode channel and group where a
compatible direct mode gateway device is available,
Gateway
is
displayed in the idle mode, and during direct mode calls,
is
displayed. On such a channel and group, direct mode calls are
routed through the gateway device. In addition to transmitting group
calls to the direct mode group, the gateway device may also transmit
outgoing group calls to a network mode talk group predefined by
your service provider, and you may also be able to receive group
calls from that group. Your radio does not support any other services
that may be offered by gateway devices.
