Private mode Dynamic Regrouping operates as
follows:
•
When the radio is regrouped, all regroups will
initially operate in clear mode.
•
When regrouped, the operator may toggle
between private and clear mode by pressing
2nd-PVT. There is no forced private regroup
mode.
•
Regroup operation always uses the system
cryptographic key.
•
If the radio is programmed for deselect capa-
bility, pressing the MONITOR BUTTON will
return operation to the programmed groups
in the radio, and to private or clear mode as
the radio is programmed. Pressing the
MONITOR BUTTON a second time will return
operation to the regroup mode and private or
clear mode as the radio was previously oper-
ating.
Wide Area System Scanning
M-PA radios may be programmed for wide area
system scan operation for multi-site applications.
Upon the loss of the currently selected system’s con-
trol channel, radios may be programmed to automat-
ically scan the control channels of up to six other
systems. If a new control channel is found, the radio
will switch to the new system and sound an alert tone.
Group selection may change upon switching to the
new system.
The radio may also be programmed for priority
wide area system scan. A priority system may be
assigned to each system programmed into the radio.
Radios programmed in this manner will scan the
priority trunked system’s control channel once every
one, two, three or four minutes (programmable). This
priority scan timer is reset each time the PTT BUT-
TON is pressed.
Scanning Trunked Groups
Groups which have been previously added to the
scan list on a per system basis may be scanned. Each
system’s scan list is retained in memory when the
radio is turned off or when the battery pack is re-
moved.
The radio will not scan when the emergency
mode is enabled ("EMG" status flag is on).
The following procedures outline scan operations
for trunked groups. See the conventional mode oper-
