7.21 RECEIVING AND TRANSMITTING VOICE CALLS

As soon as the radio completes the startup/login/provision/self-test sequence and registers on the

OpenSky network, voice calls from talk groups in the active profile will be audible.

No action is required to receive a voice call. The display responds to incoming voice calls as follows:

• When the dwell display is set to received talk group and the scan mode is Normal or Fixed:

a. If the received talk group matches the selected talk group, then the alias (if available) or user ID

of the incoming caller is displayed.

b. If the received talk group does not match the selected talk group, then the received talk group

name is displayed

• When the dwell display is set to received talk group and the scan mode is None:

a. If the received talk group matches the selected talk group, then the alias (if available) or the user

ID of the incoming caller is displayed.

b. If the received talk group does not match the selected talk group, then None is displayed.

• When the dwell display is not set to received talk group, then there is no display indication of an

incoming call.

Refer to Section 7.25 for detailed information on talk group scanning. Refer to Section 7.30 for detailed

information regarding sending and receiving encrypted calls.

Transmit a voice call as follows:

1. Turn the radio on.

2. If required, login to the network using a user ID and password (see Section 7.4).
