Making a talkgroup call
A talkgroup is a collection of radios on a trunking
system. Trunked talkgroups are found in the Channels
menu, along with conventional channels that may also
be available for the currently selected zone.
Depending on how your radio is programmed, you may
be able to press a function key or use your Quick Access
menu to select a trunked talkgroup.
Note: In some situations, your call will not proceed. For
an explanation of the radio behavior, see
“Unconnected
calls” on page 68.
To make a talkgroup call on a trunking system:
1 Select the required zone:
■ Press Menu and select Zones.
■ Scroll to the zone you want, and press Select.
(Depending on how your radio is programmed, you
may be able to press a function key or use your
Quick Access menu to select a zone.)
Your radio now indicates the zone in which it is
operating, either as a letter in the top right corner of
the display, or as a zone name in the second line of
the display.
