CHAPTER 6—Advanced Radio Operations
66 M-803 Operator Manual Software Version OTP 5.07
Fine-Tuning Your Personality
Access to as many as 16 profiles within your pre-
determined radio personality gives you tremendous
responsiveness to the changing needs of your workday.
What’s more, within each profile, the flexibility of the
IP-protocol OpenSky network makes it possible to
fine-tune your radio’s sensitivity to incoming voice
calls by changing the Scanning Priority of specific user
groups, changing radio scanning modes and channels,
even locking out the incoming voice calls of entire user
groups.
In some ways, these sensitivity tunings are analogous
to operations familiar to users of analog equipment.
Dynamic Regrouping
In the event of an emergency, the network admini-
strator will determine what radio users should be
formed into an ad hoc talk group to respond to the
emergent conditions.
The administrator will edit the personalities of the
affected users to include an emergency profile, then
direct the affected users to re-register with the network
to receive their edited personalities.
• In response, affected users Log-On with their User
ID numbers to receive their edited personalities.
• During Log-on, subscriber equipment will default
to the dynamically regrouped profile.
• In all likelihood, one profile per personality will be
reserved for Dynamic Regrouping use.
