Understanding talkgroups
Note:
This feature is available for digital channels only.
A talkgroup is a collection of radio users with whom you
want to have private conversations. For example, a
state's public safety agencies could have the following
talkgroups:
■ Local talkgroups—used by a specific agency to com-
municate within their own local agency. It may even
be made up of a county of public safety officers.
■ Regional talkgroups—used by large state agencies
that have regional divisions.
■ Statewide talkgroups—used by an agency to com-
municate with a public safety member in another
region. Statewide talkgroups, as their name suggests,
enable public safety agencies to communicate with
each other from one end of the state to the other.
■ Special event talkgroups—may be used to manage
emergencies encompassing a large area, or even
events such as visits by heads of state.
