Prioritizing a Talkgroup
At different times during your shift you may want to
improve your radio’s sensitivity to incoming calls from
a particular user group. If you make no such changes
during a radio use session, the Default Talkgroup for
each profile will maintain automatic scanning priority
over all other user groups in the profile.
Increasing the scanning priority of a group other than
the Default Talkgroup improves your receptiveness to
that group’s calls compared to all the other groups in
your active profile, including the Default Talkgroup.
You may use the procedure below to establish one new
priority scanning group for every profile in your radio
personality. There’s no ranking order in scanning
priority: one group per profile is the priority group; all
other groups in the same profile are “non-priority.”
Ø How to Assign Priority to a
Talkgroup
1.) Use the Up and Down buttons to cycle through
the Menu choices until PriTGMenu appears.
2.) Your display screen shows PriTGMenu in the
bottom line and the current Priority Scan group in
the top line.
3.) Use the Left and Right buttons to cycle through
the list of user groups in your selected Profile,
until the group you want to assign Priority
Talkgroup status appears onscreen.
4.) Press the Select button to lock in your choice.
Your selected Dwell Display will appear as soon as the
M-803 accepts your choice.
Priority Scan is
different from
Talkgroup status.
Even if you give a
user group Priority
Scan status, your
Talkgroup is still your
Talkgroup.
