Channel Guard

Channel Guard encode is transmitted on analog clear channels only. Channel Guard decode will operate on either a clear or private channel. The exception is when G-STAR signalling is used (see G-STAR paragraph).

G-STAR

When G-STAR is programmed on a private channel, the radio will transmit G-STAR in clear mode and then switch to private for the voice portion of the call. If G-STAR is sent with Channel Guard, then both are sent in clear mode and then radio switches to private mode. Emergency G-STAR data burst is transmitted in clear mode.

DUAL CONTROL OPERATION

The ORION mobile radio may be programmed to operate from two separate Control Units. This permits radio operation from two separate locations in the vehicle. Dual control operation is available in both trunked and conventional modes. Only one control unit can control the mobile radio unit at a time. The control unit which controls the radio operation is called the active controller and the second unit is called the idle controller.

Switching Control

Control can be switched to the idle controller by pressing the push-to-talk (PTT) on the microphone associated with the idle controller. Once PTT is pressed, the radio will switch control to the idle controller unless the active controller is currently transmitting (i.e., PTT pressed on active controller), in which case the switch will not occur. When control is switched to the idle controller, two short high-pitched tones will sound at the controller where PTT was pressed to indicate that the idle controller is now the active controller and the previous active controller is now the idle controller.

Control Switching Modes

The radio can be pre-programmed for two modes of dual operation, Slaved and Independent. In the Slaved mode the two controllers will use the same radio System and Group settings. The Independent mode permits each controller to have its own saved System and Group settings.
