Use this to scroll through the group list. The group list may also
contain a list of MINs for selective call. A double beep will sound as
you reach the “limit” and cycle to the “top” or “bottom” of the list.

Site Lock
This will force the radio to remain “Locked On” the current site, no
matter the quality of signal from that site. This is useful if the radio is
using a marginal site but if the radio were to go into search mode, a
better site would probably not be found. This prevents the radio from
being unnecessarily out-of-service. Examples of where this could be
handy would be at the fringe of the only site serving an area, a tunnel,
or a localized area of blocking terrain. The radio should be removed
from Site Lock mode as soon as possible to return to normal operation.
P
1
Roam Request
This will force the radio to go into search mode (roam). This is useful
if the operator of the radio is having trouble with a system (for
example: distant enough to be noisy but not weak enough to cause the
radio to go into search mode) and wishes to attempt to find a system
more suitable for his area.

Talk Around
If the radio has a Conventional or LTR system programmed into it, this
key would be used to quickly switch to that system for localized or
other use.

Mode Display
Type
This mode provides useful information concerning the system and site
the radio is currently registered to. Particularly useful when attempting
to troubleshoot problems a user may be experiencing in the field with a
PassPort system.
