7.9 DWELL DISPLAY When not engaged in menu selection, the first two lines of the display default to the user-defined display,
known as the “dwell display.” The top line indicates the currently selected talk group. The second line
will display the currently selected profile, caller ID/alias1, received talk group, and current channel name.
Press the ramp control to scroll through and view one of these second line options.
7.10 PERSONALITY As illustrated in Figure 7-4, a personality defines the profiles and talk groups available to the user. It is
the structuring of a collection of profiles and privileges established by the OpenSky network administrator
to provide the user with a comprehensive set of profiles to communicate effectively with the necessary
talk groups or individuals.
Personalities are stored on the network and downloaded over-the-air to the radio. This process is called
“provisioning.” Provisioning occurs at radio power-up and at user log-in. Each personality can contain up
to sixteen (16) profiles and each profile can contain up to sixteen talk groups.
1 Alias is a logical ID name such as “J_Smith.” The name corresponds to a user ID such as 003-542-0001.
