UBCD396XT

When the user releases the PTT button, the controller releases the voice frequency from its Talk Group ID assignment, leaving the frequency free for the next user that becomes active.

A real life example

A typical 20-frequency trunked system can support hundreds of channels. For example, the Fort Worth system includes over 400 channels providing communication support for Fort Worth agencies (Police, Fire and Ambulance) and agencies in the surrounding cities of Kennedale, North Richland Hills, Forest Hill, Haltom City and Richland Hills. In addition, the same system also supports the Tarrant County Sheriff and Texas Christian University.

Before moving to the trunked system, the Police had only 6 channels (North, South, East, West, Information, and Tactical). Since moving to the trunked system, they are now able to provide 11 channels for North Side PD alone: a main dispatch channel, three talkaround channels, a supervisor channel, a bike patrol channel, and several community patrol channels. Other police districts have similar channel requirements, and now special operations teams such as SWAT, Narcotics, and Traffic each have one or more dedicated channels for their use as well.
