00_Introduction.fm Page 5 Monday, August 16, 2004 4:33 PM INTRODUCTION Your PR400™ radio can operate on both LTR® trunked and conventional radio systems. This radio combines the very latest in two-way technology while delivering outstanding functionality at the touch of a button. CONVENTIONAL RADIO SYSTEMS Conventional typically refers to radio-to-radio communications through a single channel.
00_Introduction.fm Page 6 Monday, August 16, 2004 4:33 PM When an LTR trunked radio user wants to communicate with another radio, the user’s radio sends a “channel/talkgroup request” to the home repeater. The system then sends back a “channel/talkgroup grant” to the user’s radio. The channel/talkgroup grant message contains the number of a “go to” repeater to tell the radio which repeater to use. This “go to” repeater can be the same as the radio’s home repeater or another repeater in the system.
