Smart Calls
A Smart Call is a high priority group or broadcast call to a specific talkgroup.
This can be useful , for example, where you need to make an announcement
to everyone in the vicinity of an incident, not just those in your selected
talkgroup.
The radio supports two separate Smart Call Modes (A and B) associated special
folders Smart Call 1 and Smart Call 2 respectively. Each Smart Call Folder can
be pre-configured with up to 75 talkgroups.
You initiate a Smart Call by switching to Smart Call mode, then you press the
PTT to transmit to a chosen talkgroup in the Smart Call Folder.
Note: Broadcast calls cannot be made from a radio which is in DMO.
Attempting to make a Smart Call in DMO initiates a group call to the
attached talkgroup.
