■Making Group Calls (P25)

Channels programmed for Conventional P25 and Trunking P25 operation already have a Group ID assigned. For these channels, simply press and hold the PTT switch to make the call.

•On Trunking channels, if the traffic channel is busy, a busy message appears and the busy tone sounds. Release the PTT switch and wait for the channel to become free. When the traffic channel becomes free, a proceed tone sounds.

Otherwise, on K2/K3/K5/K6/K7 model transceivers, if a key has been programmed with Talkgroup (Conventional P25 only), you can select a group ID from the list to make a call to those parties. To select a group ID:

1Press the key programmed as Talkgroup.

2Press the Side 2 and Side 3 keys or the <C and D> keys to select a group ID/name from the list that has been pre-entered into your transceiver.

• The target group ID/name appears on the display.

3Press the Side 1 key to set the selected group ID.

4Press and hold the PTT switch to make the call. Speak into the transceiver as you would during a normal transmission.
