Group Or
Subfleet

A group of users share the same program group iden-
tification number in their mobile and personal radios.
All units in the same group will receive a dispatch
call placed by any one unit in the group. (Trunked
Mode only).
Group Scan
-
Programming that allows the radio to monitor many
groups simultaneously (multi-group decode), permit-
ting the user to both monitor and receive calls from
these groups. The radio may be programmed with a
scan hang time which causes the radio to remain on
the scanned group for a pre-programmed amount of
time, responding only to calls of a higher priority
such as priority scan group calls, individual calls,
fleet calls, agency calls, etc. When activity on the
scan group ends, and the pre-programmed time has
expired, the radio returns to monitoring multiple
groups. (Trunked Mode Only)
