Step 3: Open the TG Translation Table window.
Step 4: Add the PSU talkgroup ID to be used for translation. NOTE: Talkgroup(s) must be
outside of range of talkgroups used on the Trunking System.
CPS - PSU Programming for Talkgroup Translation
Step 1: Create a new ASTRO Talkgroup List
• Conventional Configuration → ASTRO Talkgroup List → New List
• Add a new record for the PSU talkgroup ID that will not be used → Translation
talkgroup
o MUST MATCH TG ID ENTERED INTO THE TG TRANSLATION TABLE
o MUST MATCH TG ID MODE - DEC/HEX
Step 2: Update the Conventional Personality, Conventional Personality
• Signaling → ASTRO → ASTRO Rx Unmute Rule → Normal Squelch
• ASTRO Talkgroup → Talkgroup → checked
• ASTRO Talkgroup → Talkgroup List → New List
• ASTRO Talkgroup → Selection Type → Strapped (preferred over Selectable)
• Frequency Options → create a record for the translated PSU talkgroup
o ASTRO Talkgroup ID → Translation talkgroup
Step 3: Update the Zone Channel Assignment
• Add a new VR channel record for the translated PSU talkgroup
• Channels → Personality → Conventional Personality
• Channels → Conventional Frequency Option → Translation talkgroup
Additional Notes
1. Programming: PSU talkgroup(s) to be used for the Talkgroup Translation feature must be
outside the range of talkgroups used on the Trunking system.
2. Programming: PSUs need to be programmed with Normal Squelch to hear outbound calls
(system originated calls) or MSU microphone PTT calls as they will be repeated on the
MSU talkgroup- no translation in this direction. Normal Squelch ignores conventional
talkgroups.
3. Programming: PSUs can be programmed with just one talkgroup ID which significantly
reduces the amount of required programming when the PSU needs access to many
talkgroups. It also means only one zone/channel for the portable user which simplifies
operation.
4. Generic (Non-DVRS Enabled) PSUs: When not configured for conventional talkgroup
operation, P25 PSUs use talkgroup ID 1 by default when transmitting. If TG ID 1 is added
to the VR Translation table, then PSUs transmitting TG ID 1 will be translated to the
talkgroup selected on the MSU.
