When the radio is regrouped, it will alert the
user and the display will indicate "REGRP nn" (nn
= 01 - 08 depending upon the CONTROL KNOB
setting).
If the regroup plan has deselect capability
active on the selected system, press the MONI-
TOR BUTTON to toggle between the group and
regroup modes.
Private mode Dynamic Regrouping operates
as follows:
•
When the radio is regrouped, all regroups
will initially operate in clear mode.
•
When regrouped, the operator may tog-
gle between private and clear mode by
pressing 2nd-PVT. There is no forced
private regroup mode.
•
Regroup operation always uses crypto-
graphic key 1.
•
If the radio is programmed for deselect
capability, pressing the MONITOR BUT-
TON will return operation to the pro-
grammed groups in the radio, and to pri-
vate or clear mode as the radio is pro-
grammed. Pressing the MONITOR BUT-
TON a second time will return operation
to the regroup mode and private or clear
mode as the radio was previously operat-
ing.
Wide Area System Scanning
M-PA radios may be programmed for wide
area system scan operation for multi-site applica-
tions. Upon the loss of the currently selected
system’s control channel, radios may be pro-
grammed to automatically scan the control chan-
nels of up to six other systems. If a new control
channel is found, the radio will switch to the new
system and sound an alert tone. Group selection
may change upon switching to the new system.
The radio may also be programmed for prior-
ity wide area system scan. A priority system may
be assigned to each system programmed into the
radio. Radios programmed in this manner will
scan the priority trunked system’s control channel
once every one, two, three or four minutes (pro-
grammable). This priority scan timer is reset each
time the PTT BUTTON is pressed.
