Switching Between Conventional Analog and Digital Mode

Each channel in your radio can be configured as a conventional analog or conventional digital channel. Use the Channel Selector Knob to switch between an analog or a digital channel.

When switching from digital to analog mode, certain features are unavailable. Icons for the digital features (such as Messages) reflect this change by appearing ‘grayed out’. Disabled features are hidden in the menu.

Your radio also has features available in both analog and digital mode. However, the minor differences in the way each feature works does NOT affect the performance of your radio.

NOTE: Your radio also switches between digital and analog modes during a dual mode scan (see Scan on page 41).

IP Site Connect

This feature allows your radio to extend conventional communication beyond the reach of a single site, by connecting to different available sites which are connected via an Internet Protocol (IP) network.

When the radio moves out of range from one site and into the range of another, it connects to the new site's repeater to send or receive calls/data transmissions. Depending on your settings, this is done automatically or manually.

If the radio is set to do this automatically, it scans through all available sites when the signal from the current site is weak or when the radio is unable to detect any signal from the current site. It then locks on to the repeater with the strongest Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value.

In a manual site search, the radio searches for the next site in the roam list that is currently in range (but which may not have the strongest signal) and locks on to it.

NOTE: Each channel can only have either Scan or Roam enabled, not both at the same time.

Channels with this feature enabled can be added to a particular roam list. The radio searches the channel(s) in the roam list during the automatic roam operation to locate the best site.

A roam list supports a maximum of 16 channels (including the Selected Channel).
