and remove talkgroup dynamically to a radio from over the air.
DGNA is only available with Capacity Max system.
When the console assigns DGNA to your radio, your current channel is in DGNA mode and shows the
followings:
• A tone sounds.
• The display shows <DGNA Talkgroup Alias> Assigned momentarily before returning to the
home screen.
• The DGNA icon appears in the status bar.
• The home screen displays DGNA talkgroup alias.
When the console removes DGNA from your radio, your radio restores the previous talkgroup and
shows the followings:
• A tone sounds.
• The display shows <DGNA Talkgroup Alias> Removed momentarily before returning to the
home screen.
• The DGNA icon disappears from the status bar.
• The home screen displays the previous talkgroup alias.
Depending on how your radio is programmed, you can view, edit, and listen to the original scan lists
channels and the non-DGNA talkgroups.
When your radio is in DGNA mode, press and hold the PTT button action allows you to communicate
only with the current DGNA talkgroup. To communicate with the previous non-DGNA talkgroup,
