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.
Prioritizing a User Group
At different times during your shift you may want to
change the Priority Scan Group on your radio. This
determines which talk group will take precedence in
the event that multiple talk groups from your scan list
are simultaneously active.
In the event that the Priority Scan Group is not one of
multiple active talk-groups, the first active is the one
that will be heard.
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.”
Priority Scan is
different from Tal
k
Group status. Even i
f
you give a Listen
Group priority scan
status, your Tal
k
Group is still your Tal
k
Group.
