3.6.2 Changing Priority Talk Group
When scanning, the default emergency talk group has the highest scan priority
(1
st
), followed by the currently selected talk group (2
nd
), a talk group set as the
priority talk group (3
rd
), followed by other talk groups in the currently active
profile that are not locked out. Follow this procedure to set a talk group in the
current profile as the priority talk group:
1. Use the ▲ or ▼ button to scroll through the menu until “PriTG Menu”
(Priority Talk group) appears in the bottom line of the display. The talk
group currently set as the priority talk group appears in the top line of the
display.
2. Use the ◄ or ► button to select a new priority talk group.
3. Press the Select button to set the newly selected talk group as the priority
talk group.
3.7 SELECTIVE CALL
Selective calling is a feature that allows two radio units to obtain and utilize
an independent voice path for a private call. Radios can be configured to both
initiate and receive selective calls or to only receive selective calls.
In the OpenSky system, a source radio can be configured to initiate selective
calls through a pre-programmed list in memory. This method uses the “speed
dial list” set up by the OpenSky network administrator and provisioned as part
of the registration process.
In addition, a properly equipped source radio can initiate a selective call to
any radio in the system by entering the ten-digit voice user ID (which looks
like a telephone number) of the target device. Entering a selective call number
without using the speed dial feature requires an optional DTMF microphone.
See section 3.11 for more detail.
NOTE
Selective calls are terminated if an emergency is
declared.
3.7.1 Making a Selective Call
Use the keypad on the microphone to input digits to place the call. If the radio
is not equipped with a keypad microphone, use the ▲ or ▼ buttons to scroll
through the menu until “SpeedDial” appears in the bottom line of the display.
