General Radio Operations: Receiving and Making Calls 2-3

Receiving and Making Calls

NOTE: Your DTR Series radio must be programmed to be fully compatible with other DTR Series radios and fully utilize all radio features. Refer to Chapter 3 - Advanced Radio Operations.

Types of Calls

Your radio can make and receive three different types of voice calls:

•PublicGroup – One-to-many communication to all radios set to your channel and PublicGroup number. All DTR Series radios are factory programmed with 5 PublicGroups.

•Private – One-to-one communication with another radio, requires adding a user to the Contacts List.

•PrivateGroup – One-to-many communication to only radios in your group. Requires adding all members to your Contact List then cloning the group over the air to member radios. Offers a higher level of privacy than a PublicGroup.

Receiving a Call

When a call is received, the radio chirps and the display shows the call type and transmitting caller’s user ID or name.
