82 Operating in conventional mode
Using the radio in different
repeater areas
Your radio may have a group of channels
programmed as a voting group. The channels in the
voting group all carry the same traffic, but from
different repeaters. As your radio moves in and out of
different repeater coverage areas, the best
communication channel is automatically selected for
you to use.
This channel is known as the ‘home’ channel, and will
be the channel you make and receive calls on. While
voting is active, the orange LED glows and the
scanning icon appears on the display.
The section "Selecting a scan or voting group" on
page 52 explains how to select a group. A group can
be either a voting or a scanning group.
Suspending a channel from a voting group
You may be able to use the function key programmed
for nuisance delete to temporarily delete one of the
channels from the voting group.
When that voting group is next selected, or after the
radio has been turned off and then on, the deleted
channel is again part of the voting group.
Alternatively, the function key programmed for voting
may be programmed so that a short key press turns
on voting, and a long key press activates nuisance
delete.
■ Press and hold the function key programmed for
voting to remove the current channel from the vot-
ing group.
If the operation has been successful, the message
Channel nuisance deleted appears on the
display.
