Failsoft Operation

The “failsoft” system ensures that you will continue to have radio communications capability in the event of trunked system failure. During trunked operation, the radio will automatically go into failsoft operation if the central trunking controller fails for any reason. While in failsoft, your radio will transmit and receive on a predetermined frequency in a conventional, as opposed to trunked, mode. When the trunked system returns to normal operation, the radio will automatically leave failsoft operation and return to trunked operation.

When the radio is in failsoft operation, you will hear a faint “beeping” sound every ten seconds, and the radio will become unsquelched. At the same time, the display will alternate between showing “FAILSOFT” and the current active trunked system.
