Special Radio Features

Trunking System Controls

Failsoft

The failsoft system ensures continuous radio communications during a trunked system failure. If a trunking system fails completely, the radio goes into failsoft operation, and automatically switches to its failsoft channel.

During failsoft operation:

•Your radio transmits and receives in conventional operation on a predetermined frequency.

•You hear a medium-pitched tone every 10 seconds.

When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your radio automatically leaves failsoft operation and returns to trunked operation.

Out-of-Range

If you go out of the range of the system, and can no longer lock onto a control channel, you hear a low-pitched tone.

Your radio remains in this out-of-range condition until

•It locks onto a control channel,

•It locks onto a failsoft channel, or

•It is turned off.
