EDACS OPERATION
CONVENTIONAL FAILSOFT
In the unlikely event of a failure of the EDACS system,
communications may take place in conventional failsoft
mode. The radio will be automatically directed to a com-
munications channel set up for this purpose. During this
mode of operation, CONV FS will be displayed. An increase
in activity on the channel may be noticed, so be careful not
to transmit until the channel is clear (ensure that no BUSY
icon is showing).
Operation during conventional failsoft will be the same as
on a conventional system, except that it will not be possible
to select a communications channel or use emergency and
special call features. When trunking is restored, the radio
will automatically be returned to normal operation.
SCAN OPERATION
Group Scan
Only groups that are part of the radio's scan list may be
scanned. Groups are added to the scan list on a per system
basis through PC programming. Each system's group scan
list is retained in memory when the radio is turned off.
NOTE:
The radio may also be programmed to provide priority
group scan capability which operates similar to priority scan
in conventional systems. The following is a description of PC
programmable scan features:
Scan Hang Time:
The delay time the radio waits before resum-
ing scan after the P-T-T is released or after the carrier has
dropped a channel.
