DESENSITISATION

When two (or more) radios are within proximity to each other, the radio may not receive
signal due to conflicting electromagnetic interference. This behaviour is caused by a nearby
transmitter (i.e. a transmitter on another radio) either overloading the receiver of the
receiving radio or competing for transmission space. This same issue may present if
multiple radios of the same channel are within proximity to each other and an inbound
transmission comes in. Some radios within the group may not receive the transmission and
will not indicate any radio behaviour to alert the user to either an incoming message or
transmission. It is recommended that users operate radios at least 1.5 metres away from
each other to minimise the occurrence of the above radio behaviour.
H
ANDSET SCREEN
Each handset screen is programmed in a manner common to all ACT Health handsets.
The Channel Name is displayed in large font at the top of the screen (e.g. DMH OPS)
An organisation prefix is displayed in smaller font below the Channel Name (e.g.
CHS) followed by the zone that has been chosen by the user (e.g. Zone A), followed
by the Trunking ID, for asset management purposes (e.g. 1054350).
