Quick Call II (ASTRO P25 Digital
Trunking and Conventional)
This feature allows the user to broadcast a series of
distinct, recognizable tones before a voice transmission
from the dispatcher or a radio.
The broadcasting dispatcher or radio user can select this
alert tone transmission to be sent to an individual
Talkgroup or over the entire system. Specific tone or series
of tones are pre-programmed into the radios to allow the
dispatcher or supervisor to select a list of tones to
broadcast before they make their voice transmission. Each
tone is distinctive to indicate different situation or different
broadcaster. The transmitting radio also plays back the
tones for the broadcaster to listen.
NOTE:
The receiving radios must be configured with the
Quick Call II tone in order for the radio to sound the
selected tone and also to sound a preconfigured
alert tone after the selected tone has sound.
Initiating a Quick Call II Transmission
The broadcasting or transmitting radio must be pre-
programmed to see the tone in the Quick Call II tone list.
The receiving radio must also be pre-programmed to
