Trunked Mode Operation, Continued
System “ Handshaking”
In a Trunked System, when the P-T-T is pressed on the microphone, a “ Handshaking”
routine occurs which establishes communications between the radio and Trunked System. When
the LED indicator glows steadily red, voice transmission may begin. If your Maxon Dealer has
enabled the “ Clear to Talk” tone option, the radio will emit a short tone signaling voice
transmission may occur. In Conventional Systems, there is no System “ handshaking” and
voice transmission may start immediately.
