3.5.18.4 Group Call

The Group Call feature sends transmissions that are only received by radios that share a common Group MMSI number.

The RAY215E requires a Full Function Handset to program in the Group MMSI number. For this reason, the Minimum Function Handset can only receive Group Calls. You must use the Full Function Handset to send a Group Call.

If you are currently on a selected working channel or private channel, in the Monitor mode, or in the Scan mode when a Group Call is received, the radio automatically enters DSC mode, sounds an alarm, and displays the type of call.

After receiving a Group Call, press and release the DSC key to accept the call. The unit switches to the working channel and extinguishes the DSC indicator, indicating the unit has exited the DSC mode.

The large channel display indicates the working channel and the small channel display is extinguished. If you do not wish to acknowledge the call, press the 16 key to exit the DSC mode.
