CONVENTIONAL FEATURES

Priority Group Sampling

The priority group sampling feature ensures that messages on priority conventional groups are not missed while listening to a message on a non-priority conventional group. A fixed first and second priority group can be designated by programming or either priority group can be the selected group. When a first priority group is selected, is displayed, and when a second priority group is selected, is displayed (see following illustration). When scanning, this symbol is displayed only while a call is being received on the particular priority group.

When a message is detected on a first priority group while listening to a non-priority message, a tone sounds, “PRIORTY1” is flashed on the lower line of the display, and the transceiver changes to that system/group to receive the message. Likewise, if a message is received on a second priority group, “PRIORTY2” is displayed. When the priority message is complete, the transceiver returns to the previous system/group. If a message is still present, it is received.

When a priority system/group is sampled while listening to a message on some other system/group, a series of “ticks” may be heard. These ticks are brief interruptions of the audio signal that occur when sampling takes place.

If the menu mode PRIORITY parameter (see page 33) or the PRI option switch is available, priority sampling can be turned on and off. When it is enabled by the switch, “PRI ON” is flashed, and if it is disabled, “PRI OFF” is flashed. If this menu parameter or switch is not available, priority sampling is either enabled or disabled by programming.
