GO_TO_CHANNEL
The GO_TO_CHANNEL command tells the radio to change to another
conventional mode channel. The specified channel can be assigned to a
scan/vote group in the radio. A trunked radio must change to a conventional
channel before executing this command.
Format
g [SIZE] [ZONE] [CHANNEL_NO] [CHECKSUM]
■
‘g’ is sent as a single ASCII character and represents the
GO_TO_CHANNEL command.
■
[ZONE] (optional for TM8200, not applicable for TM8100) is a two-
character string representing the new zone. When [ZONE] is omitted,
the radio stays in the current zone.
■
[CHANNEL_NO] is a maximum of four characters representing the
new channel number. The range of allowed characters is 0 to 9. and must
be a valid channel for the radio. If used with the [ZONE] parameter, this
will always be a four-character string.
Note
If the radio is using a scan/vote group when it receives this com-
mand, it will retune to the specified channel.
Note
If the radio is in emergency mode then no channel change will
occur, and a ‘not ready’ error message is returned.
