Talk Groups
While your active profile can contain up to 16 user
groups, only the primary group in any profile is your
talk group. All the other user groups in your profile are
listen-only groups. You’ll hear the calls from these
groups but they will not hear your voice unless your
user group is part of their profile.
To establish voice-to-voice contact with a particular
user, you’ll have to select the profile that makes that
user part of your talk group. This is only possible if
your network administrator has configured a talk group
that contains both you and the other user.
If each of you has a profile that includes the other in a
talk group, you can each select the profile that puts you
into “push-to-talk” contact with the other.
Listen Groups
All the other user groups in each of your up to 16
profiles are listen groups. See the User Profile Figure
above for an illustration of how user groups are related
in a profile.
By adding different listen groups to your several
profiles, your network administrator can change the
configuration of the user groups you can monitor at any
time by clicking your profile selector knob to the
appropriate profile.
You may only have one talk group, but that doesn’t
keep you from tuning in different profiles to monitor a
different “bank of channels.”
