DYNAMIC REGROUP OPERATION

Dynamic regroup operation permits multiple talk groups (up to eight) to be
added to a radio via the system manager. The radio must be pre-
programmed to respond to regrouping. Dynamic regrouping will not be
activated in a radio until an activation message is sent by the system
manager. Each radio that receives and acknowledges a regrouping
instructions is successfully regrouped.
Pressing and holding the C (Scan Model) or c (System Model)
button for 2.5 seconds toggles the user into and out of the dynamic regroup
groupset. A double beep will sound for entry or exit. The display will
indicate REGR_0x where "x" is a digit of 1 to 8 indicating the group when
dynamic regroup has been enabled by the user. If the radio is in dynamic
regroup and the user selects a group that has not been regrouped, the display
will show NO ENTRY. The radio will be prevented from transmitting and
receiving calls in this condition except for scanned groups.
Emergency Operation
If the pre-programmed groupset on the currently selected system contains
an EMER/HOME group and the radio is in dynamic regroup, the radio will
exit dynamic regroup and declare the emergency on the HOME group. If no
EMER/HOME group is present, the radio will declare the emergency on the
currently selected dynamic regroup group.
CONVENTIONAL MODE OPERATION
The radio functions in the conventional mode when using conventional
communications channels (non-trunked). Each channel consists of a preset
frequency pair for transmit and receive during repeater operation, or a single
frequency for both transmit and receive during talk-around (no repeater)
operation. To use this mode, the operator selects a conventional system
which includes one or more conventional channels. Each conventional
channel may have one or more features, such as Channel Guard,
programmed when the channel is selected.
The c button unmutes the receiver so activity on the selected channel can
be monitored. When pressed and held for approximately 3 seconds this
button toggles conventional channel dec oding (Channel Guard, Digital
Channel Guard or T99) on and OFF, if programmed for the selected
channel.
