Message Operation
Message operation permits the transmission of a pre-programmed message
text to an EDACS site.
To send a message, press the
n button (key light comes on) then press one
of the number buttons (0-9) to select the pre-programmed message text. If no
message text has been programmed for the selected number button, the radio
will display NO ENTRY and a low-pitched tone sounds. A valid selection
will permit the message text to appear in the display for a pre-programmed
time. After the time-out expires or the
m button has been pressed (the m
button will override the time-out period), the message text is selected and will
be transmitted to the site. If the site receives the message properly when
transmitted, a high-pitched tone sounds and the
n key light remains lit. If
the site does not receive the message properly, a low-pitched tone sounds and
the
n key light will blink.
If an incorrect message text was selected or the incorrect number button was
pressed, the message text can be changed during the pre-programmed time-out
period by pressing another number button. The message text selection can also
be cancelled by pressing the
c button prior to the time-out period.
To view the currently selected message text after it has been transmitted, press
the
n button and then the c button prior to the time-out period. If the
message text was not sent successfully to the site, the text associated with the
message will flash in the display.
EDACS CONVENTIONAL P1 SCAN
This feature permits the radio user to scan a pre-programmed conventional
system and channel as a Priority 1 (P1) channel while the radio is selected for
EDACS trunked system. If activity is detected on the conventional P1
channel, the radio will un-mute and remain on this conventional channel for
the programmable hang time.
The radio must be pre-programmed to designate a button for scan ON/OFF
operation.
DYNAMIC REGROUP OPERATION
Dynamic regroup operation permits multiple talk groups (up to eight) to be
added to a radio via the system manager. The radio must be pre-programmed
to respond to regrouping. Dynamic regrouping will not be activated in a radio
until an activation message is sent by the system manager. Each radio that
receives and acknowledges regrouping instructions is successfully regrouped.
