Common Radio Features
Individual Calls – Receive Only
Individual calls are defined as follows:
•Telephone Calls — similar to standard telephone calls, except you use your radio. These calls can be landline caller to radio, radio to landline caller, or landline caller to radio talkgroup.
•Private-Conversation™ II Calls (Private Calls) — one-on-one calls involving two specific radios in which the conversation will not be heard by others in the current radio talkgroup.
•Enhanced Private-Conversation Calls (Enhanced Private Calls, Trunked Radios Only) — same as Private Conversation II calls except the radio automatically verifies that the target radio is active on the system.
•Selective Calls (Conventional Channels Only) — used to selectively call an individual or group of radios. It is intended to provide privacy and to eliminate the annoyance of having to listen to conversations that are of no interest to you.
•Call-Alert™ Pages — your radio functions like a pager (beeper); Call Alert pages provide a means for other radio users to signal you that they wish to get in touch with you (even if you are away from your radio or in a noisy environment). Call Alert pages also allow users to verify that a radio is active on the system.
In the following procedures, any reference to Private- Conversation (Private Call) will represent both Private- Conversation II calls and Enhanced Private-Conversation calls, unless otherwise specified.
