Understanding Talkgroups
This feature is available for DMR digital channels only.
A talkgroup is a collection of radio users with whom to have private conversations. For example, a state's public
safety agencies could have the following talkgroups:
• Local talkgroups—used by a specific agency to communicate within their own local agency. It may even be
made up of a county of public safety officers.
• Regional talkgroups—used by large state agencies that have regional divisions.
