Trunked Announcement
The announcement capability allows you to make announcements to the entire user group, monitor
talkgroup calls, and other announcements.
Announcement calls are handled in two different ways, ruthless and non-ruthless preemption.
Ruthless Preemption
When a ruthless preemption announcement call is initiated, the requesting radio begins transmitting
immediately. All associated talkgroup calls taking place on other channels are immediately halted,
and the radios are steered to the announcement call.
Transmitting radios continue to transmit until the PTT button is released, and unmute for the
announcement call.
Non-Ruthless Preemption
When a non-ruthless preemption announcement is initiated, the initiating unit receives a telephone-
type busy tone, followed by a callback when all associated talkgroup conversations end.
