SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features
6.2.1 Radio Info button
Pressing the Radio Info button (if programmed) or selection of the menu parameter allows
the user to display the ID programmed for the currently selected protocol. If the radio is on
a digital conventional channel, it shows the digital conventional ID. If the radio is
currently on a SmartNet/SmartZone or P25 Trunking channel location, it shows the ID
associated with that protocol. This feature also shows the following items:
• Unit ID for active protocol
• Current Software version in the radio.
• Encryption Key location programmed for the currently selected channel
• Band type of radio
6.3 Standard Group Calls
Standard calls are between you and another mobile, group of mobiles, or a control station
(a radio in a fixed location). Most calls are probably this type. Proceed as follows to place
and receive group calls.
6.3.1 Placing a Standard Group Call
To place a Standard Group Call:
1 Turn power ON and set the volume as described in Section 3. Select the channel
programmed for the talk group you want to call (see Section 3.4.2).
2 If the talk group is programmed for encryption and is not strapped to Clear or Coded,
select the desired mode by pressing the C/S (Clear/Secure) option switch or selecting
the menu parameter. The status of that switch is ignored if the talk group is strapped to
Clear or Coded. Refer to Section 10.3 for more information.
3 Press the PTT switch and begin talking. An optional talk permit tone may sound to
indicate when talking can begin. Other indications that may occur are as follows:
- If in the secure mode and your radio is not programmed with the proper encryption
key, “KEYFAIL” is displayed and the call must be made in the clear mode or the
proper key must be programmed.
- If the busy tone sounds and “BUSY” is displayed, the system is busy. Release the
PTT switch and wait for the call back tone to sound. Then press the PTT switch
within three seconds.
