Motorola LM 3000E manual Service Area Selection, Local Area

Service Area Selection

When making outgoing Group Calls, you may choose from three different service area selec- tions:

•Local Area

•Targeted Area

•Wide Area.

Area selection only applies to Group Calls you initiate. Your last- selected area appears on your display, regardless of the origin of any incom- ing call.

In each case, you are speaking with members of the talkgroup (shown on line 2 of the dis-

play) who are in that service area. Your unit is equipped with a pre-pro- grammed list of service areas. You can add, edit, or erase areas. You can also assign names (aliases) to them. (See the “Feature Menu” section for pro- gramming information.)

Local Area

A Local Area Group Call allows you to communicate with talkgroup mem- bers located in the service area you are currently in. Your radio automatically updates your Local Area as you travel from one service area to another. Dis- patchers are always included in a Local Area call, regardless of their loca- tion. (Example: Talk to Talkgroup 7 members in your Local Area. Area 6 is your current Local Area. Talkgroup 7 is your selected talkgroup.)
