20 BK Radio
priority channels. Receptions on PR1 have
priority over any other channel in the group,
including PR2.
Either priority channel can be programmed as
a fixed channel, tied to the Channel Selector
knob, or programmed OFF. If the radio is
programmed to transmit on the first priority
channel, transmissions will occur on PR1
when operating in Dual Priority Scan Mode.
If PR1 is a fixed channel, and the [PRI] key is
not locked out, the user can move the channel
selector to a new channel and press the [PRI]
key to choose a new PR1 channel.
Dual Priority Scan is automatically disabled
when Group Scan is on.

UNIT-TO-UNIT CALL
P25 Unit IDs allow for Unit-To-Unit calls when
the radio is operating in Digital Mode. To view
the radio’s ID, press and hold the [*] key while
not in Unit-To-Unit Mode. (Unit-To-Unit Mode
is indicated by a phone icon in the upper right
corner of the display). Channels programmed
for analog only operation will not be able to
transmit or receive Unit-To-Unit calls.
UNIT-TO-UNIT MODE
When the radio is in Unit-To-Unit Mode, all
scanning functions will be disabled. The radio
will receive and transmit on the Ready-to-
Transmit (RTX) channel only. Depending on
programming, the RTX channel can be the
main channel, a held scan or priority channel if
Talkback Scan is enabled, or the Priority 1
channel if TX on PR1 is enabled. To alert the
user that the radio is in Unit-To-Unit Mode, a
beep will periodically sound until the unit is
returned to normal Operating Mode.
If the RTX channel’s Digital Squelch Mode is
set to ‘selective’, the radio will accept group
calls, correctly addressed Unit-To-Unit calls,
and if RX Mode is set to mixed, analog
signals.
When a correctly addressed Unit-To-Unit call
is received, the radio will beep twice. If the
calling unit’s ID matches one of the Call List
IDs, the associated label will be displayed
along with the RX and phone icon. Otherwise,
the numeric ID will be displayed along with the
RX, ID, and phone icon.
