they are user programmable if the Scan Edit option
switch is programmed (see “Programing a Scan List”
in Section 2.3.11).
Scanning is enabled/disabled by the Scan option
switch. In addition, channels can be programmed so
that scanning automatically starts whenever the
channel is selected. Scanning is temporarily disabled
and “
S
” turns off if a channel is selected that has scan-
ning disabled. Then when a channel is selected again
that permits scanning, it is automatically re-enabled.
When responding to messages in the scan mode,
programming determines if the response always
occurs on the talk group of the call or the selected talk
group (if they are different). Transmissions occurring
at other times always occur on the selected talk group.
In addition to calls on channels in the scan list,
pages, private calls, and telephone calls are received
while scanning. Messages on the priority channel are
received while listening to lower priority messages.
However, private and telephone calls are not inter-
rupted by calls on the priority channel.
2.5.13 DYNAMIC REGROUPING
The dynamic regrouping feature allows a
dispatcher to switch users to a dynamically defined
channel to receive an important message. Dynamic
regrouping operates as follows:
1. When this command is received, the alternating
dynamic regrouping tone sounds, the transceiver
automatically changes to the regrouping channel,
and the display indicates “REGROUP” on the lower
line. All transmitting and receiving then occurs on
this channel.
2. To reset all talk and announcement groups to normal
so that only the designated regrouping channel is on
the dynamic group, manually select the designated
regrouping channel if you know it. If this channel is
not selected or there is no designated regrouping
channel, all transmissions occur on the dynamically
assigned group regardless of which channel is
selected, and the regrouping tone sounds each time
the PTT switch is pressed.
3. When regrouping is canceled by the dispatcher,
transceiver operation returns to normal.
2.5.14 SMARTZONE FEATURES
Introduction
As described in Section 2.3.12, the SmartZone®
mode provides wide area coverage by allowing
roaming between SMARTNET and conventional sites.
SmartZone operation is the same as SMARTNET with
the following additional features:
Determining Current Site
To determine the current radio site, momentarily
press the Site Search option switch (if programmed). If
currently registered on a site, “SITE x” is displayed on
the top line, where “x” is the site number. If the site is
locked (see following), “LOCK x” is displayed
instead. The RSSI (Receive Signal Strength Indicator)
value of the current site as “RSSI x” is displayed on
the bottom line as “RSSI x”. To exit, press the Site
Search switch again.
Searching For a New Site
Press the Site Search option switch as described
above. Then to scroll through the other programmed
sites, rotate the Select switch while “SITE x” or “RSSI
x” is displayed. To select the displayed site, press the
Site Search option switch. To exit this mode and return
to normal operation, press the Site Search switch
again. If site lock is on when site search is entered (see
following), the radio will be locked on the new site
when this function is exited.
Locking/Unlocking a Site
It is sometimes desirable to stay on the current
site regardless of signal level. To lock the radio on the
current site so that it does not search for another, press
the Site Lock option switch (if programmed). The
display then momentarily indicates “LOCK x” to indi-
cate that the current site is locked (“x” is the current
site number). To unlock the site, press the Lock switch
again and “UNLOCK” is momentarily displayed.
