SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features
6.13.7 P25 Wide Area Scan
This feature is intended to enhance roaming performance, especially when system level
steering through radio or talk group permissions is used.
6.13.8 Normal P25 and SmartZone Control Channel Hunt
The following control channel search methods are normally used to find a control channel:
Short Hunt - The dynamic array of 7 adjacent sites (SmartZone) or 15 adjacent sites
(P25 Trunking) is searched. This list is saved on power down and loaded again at
power up. It is erased whenever parameters are downloaded to the radio.
Long Hunt - If no valid control channel is located by the preceding short hunt method,
the radio searches the list of control channels programmed into the radio.
Full Spectrum CC Scan - If the two preceding methods do not locate a control
channel, every channel available to the radio is searched.
6.13.9 Talkgroup Steering through System Access Permissions
To use system channel resources more efficiently, some system operators are using system
access permissions to steer certain talkgroups to particular sites. For example, a police
department may be allowed to use only Site 1, and a public works department may be
allowed to use only Site 2.
The problem with this operation is that every time a different talk group is selected, the
access permission may be different and a different site may need to be accessed. This
could result, in a worst case, in a delay of up to 30 seconds in finding a new site. This
could occur if there are no valid sites for the new talk group in the dynamic site list.
6.13.10P25 Wide Area Scan
This feature is intended to enhance roaming performance, especially when system level
steering through radio or talk group permissions is used.
To use system channel resources more efficiently, some system operators are using system
access permissions to steer certain talkgroups to particular sites. For example, a police
department may be allowed to use only Site 1, and a public works department may be
allowed to use only Site 2.
