Failsoft

The Failsoft system ensures continuous radio communications during a trunked system failure. If a trunking system fails completely, the radio goes into failsoft operation and automatically switches to its failsoft channel.

During failsoft operation:

Your radio transmits and receives in conventional operation on a predetermined frequency.

You hear a medium-pitched tone every 10 seconds.
