Trunked Mode Operation
Your Maxon SM-6000
Enduro
series may be programmed to operate with both Trunked
and Conventional modes. There are only a few differences in their operation and these
are detailed as follows.
Channel Monitoring:
While on a Trunked System, channel monitoring is performed automatically by the radio
transceiver. In accordance with the FCC rules, while operating on a Conventional System
the channel must be monitored prior to transmitting. In both Trunked and Conventional
Systems, operation may vary from System to System. Your Maxon Dealer will be able to
assist with particular operational parameters and procedures for the various Systems and
functions.
System “Handshaking”
In a Trunked System, when the P-T-T is pressed on the microphone, a “Handshaking”
routine occurs which establishes communications between the radio and Trunked System.
When the LED indicator glows steadily red, voice transmission may begin. If your
Maxon Dealer has enabled the “Clear to Talk” tone option, the radio will emit a short
tone signaling voice transmission may occur. In Conventional Systems, there is no
System “handshaking” and voice transmission may start immediately.
