84 Dual radio operation (TM8260 only)
Radio controls in a dual radio system
Certain radio controls and functions are global and apply to
the radio system as a whole. The on/off key turns the entire
radio system on or off. The volume control adjusts the volume
of all received audio and indicators. Functions and menu
options relating to the radio display and audible indicators
are also global.
Many other functions and menu options apply to the fore-
ground radio only. Examples include changing channels and
zones, and toggling monitor. See
“Switching between
radios” on page 85
.
You can switch between the various dual receive and trans-
mit states using one or two function keys programmed for
dual body mode and single body mode. If programmed for a
single key, dual body mode is assigned to a short press and
single body mode is assigned to a long press. The following
diagram summarizes how to enable dual receive and dual
transmit and how to return to single body mode.
