Group calls
Group (
point-to-multipoint
) calls are calls where you talk to other users within
a nominated group of radio users (a talkgroup). In a group call only one
person can talk at any one time (known as
half-duplex
mode).
During group calls the microphone at the top of your radio is active and all
received audio is routed to the loudspeaker.
Making a group call
1. Press and hold the
PTT
button and speak into the top microphone.
The LED changes to solid red to indicate that your radio is transmitting,
and an audible tone is heard and your radio status text changes to 'Talk'.
2. When you have finished talking, release the
PTT
button and listen to
audio received, through the loudspeaker.
The LED changes to solid green whilst the group call is active and your
radio status text changes to ‘Group Call’.
3. You can also clear the group call by pressing:
Clear Call soft key (if customised)
Cancel/Home
key
Receiving a group call
When a group call is received, the LED flashes red and your radio status
changes to ‘Group Call’. The name of the talkgroup, talkgroup folder and the
caller’s ID are displayed. When the LED changes to solid green (after a few
seconds) you can respond to the call.
