Trailing Tones sent by DVR in analog mode to
conventional analog PSUs at the end of PSU

indicate that the PSU user is outside of the DVR
range.

Table 9 Analog PSU - DVRS Specific Tones
NOTE:
All PSUs which are in the analog mode DVR radio coverage area and switched to the
DVR channel will hear the DVR status tones since those are transmitted over the air (on
the same frequency with PL/DPL) and are NOT generated by the portable radios.
