The Harris P7300 portable radio delivers end-to-end encrypted digital voice and IP data communications.
It is designed to support multiple operating modes including:
• EDACS
®
(Enhanced Digital Access Communications System) or ProVoice™ Trunked Modes
• OpenSky
®
Trunked Protocol (OTP)
• P25 Trunked Mode
• P25 Digital Conventional Mode
• Conventional Analog Mode
The P7300 portables can include all of these modes or just one. Additional modes of operation can be
added with software updates.
The P7300 supports a full range of advanced digital trunking features, including Talk Group calls, priority
scanning, emergency calls, late call entry, and dynamic reconfiguration. It performs autonomous roaming
for wide area applications. High quality voice coding and robust audio components assure speech clarity.
In the trunked modes, the user selects a communications “operating” system (i.e., EDACS, ProVoice, or
P25) and group. While communicating in a trunked mode, channel selection is transparent to the user and
is controlled via digital communication with the system controller (e.g., a CSD in an EDACS system).
This provides advanced programmable features and fast access to communication channels.
