Using a DMO gateway
A DMO gateway (or gateway) is a device which allows users working in
Direct Mode to communicate with users in Trunked Mode effectively
extending the working range of a radio. When your radio is in DMO Mode
and it is in range of a DMO gateway the
gateway icon appears and, if
customised, an audible alert is generated. You can now make and receive
group calls to TMO radios (and to the dispatcher) via the gateway. See
DMO
gateway operation
on page 71
.
Note:
If your radio is outside the range of a gateway, you may still be able
to hear the speech of another user who is in range of a gateway and who
is involved in a group call via the gateway. In this case the
Communication Mismatch
icon is displayed to indicate that you cannot
take part fully in the call. If you attempt to respond to the overheard
speech, any radios within gateway range which can hear you also display
a Communication Mismatch icon to tell them that the speech is not being
routed via the gateway to TMO users.
Using a DMO repeater
You can extend DMO Mode range by using a DMO repeater (repeater). If
your radio detects a repeater the
DMO Repeater
icon is displayed and
your radio can communicate with any other radios in the selected DMO
talkgroup which are also within the range of the repeater. See
Repeater Mode
on page 74
