Open channel
An open channel enables a group of terminals to communicate with
each other "by entering" a pre-established communication (open).
The open channel is established over a given geographical area.
Preferred base network
The default for the preferred base network (BN) is the home BN (the BN
that appears in the terminal’s address) or the BN number programmed
in "Choice of preferred base network".
Priority scanning
With priority scanning, the first call in the list has priority. The terminal
switches over to the priority call as soon as it becomes active and
ignores all other calls. When the priority call is inactive, the terminal
listens to other calls in the list. Speech mode is automatically activated
in priority calls.
Push-to-talk
Long key on the left side of the microphone providing 2 functions:
speak during a call or answer a call.
Registration
To communicate over the network, a radio terminal must be registered.
In other words, the system must know the base station under which
the terminal is located and the terminal's communication access rights.
Scan
The scan function enables users to listen in to several open channels
or talkgroups in succession.
