Dropout Delay Time (Analog only) When scanning with a signal and starting a
transmit, after release the PTT key, the radio will resume
scanning after reaching the Dropout Delay Time.
Dwell Time (Analog only) When PTT key is released, the radio will
resume scanning after reaching the Dwell Time.
Once all done, click on “OK” to save this set-up.
STEP 5 - ZONE LIST CREATION
Creating a ‘Zone’ allows you to put your configured ‘channels’ into logical groups so
they can be accessed.
- Up to 250 individual Zones can be created and named to identify each channel group.
- Each Zone can contain as few or as many channels as convenient.
- Zones can be named to identify repeaters, functions, etc.
- The channels in each zone can be sorted or rearranged in any order.
Once the Zone list is created, the individual Zones can be re-sequenced by using the
green up and green down arrows shown below.
The example below shows the group of channels selected for the Shrewsbury PA
repeater. Another possible option would be a zone set up for traveling from one
repeater to another. For instance:
- Local 2 Hickory
- Local 2 Shrewsbury
- Local 2 Keystone
- Local 2 Harrisburg
While traveling, I would only need to turn the channel selector one click to change from
one repeater to another, rather than switch zones.
NOTE: Holding the up/down key down allows zones to switch continuously rather than
individually.
