Zone/Talkgroup
Assignment
At the MAIN MENU, press F4 and then F8 to access this screen.
A zone is an artificial grouping of channels (or talkgroups) to permit
ease of operation. Generally, all members of a zone will reflect some
common characteristic such as geographic location, job function,
signalling type, etc.
Each member of a zone is defined by selecting a Conventional
personality, or a Trunking personality and a talkgroup. On radios
equipped with a display, an optional name can also be assigned to each
member of the zone. Each zone can also be named. The number of
characters allotted for the zone name versus the channel name is
defined on the RADIO WIDE DISPLAY OPTIONS screen (F4/F3/F6).
Zones and channels can be added and deleted using the F2/F5 keys.
Zone selection may be via the rotary switch, the toggle switch or the
keypad (if applicable).
Press Tab to select the desired field, or press the desired function key
(F1 - F10). If a field is highlighted, use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to
select the desired choice or value.
