Smart Calls
A
Smart Call
is a high priority group or broadcast call to a specific talkgroup.
This can be useful, for example, where you need to make an announcement
to everyone in the vicinity of an incident, not just those in your selected
talkgroup.
The radio supports two separate
Smart Call Modes
(A and B) associated special
folders
Smart Call 1
and
Smart Call 2
respectively. Each Smart Call Folder can
be pre-configured with up to 75 talkgroups.
You initiate a Smart Call by switching to Smart Call mode, then you press the
PTT
to transmit to a chosen talkgroup in the Smart Call Folder.
