systems, and for some systems that are used in
large, rural counties.
As a system user moves around, or “roams,” in
the coverage area of the network, their radio will
automatically find and use the nearest tower site.
Each tower site includes a number of channels.
One of these channels is used for control channel
data, and the remaining channels are used for
voice traffic. As a user moves away from the
coverage of one site, the radio will search other
control channel frequencies for a better site to use.
Multi-site can be enabled by editing the trunking
system (TSYS) parameters for a Motorola or
P25 system. Multi-site can be set to Off, Stat
(Stationary) or Roam. By default, Multi-site is set
to Off.
The ROAM setting is ideal for those times when
you are driving around in the service area of a
networked trunked radio system, as it allows the
radio to find and use the best tower sites as you
move in and out of the coverage footprints of
different sites.
The STAT (stationary) setting is ideal for those
times when you are not moving and are within
range of more than one tower site, as it will allow
you to monitor traffic from any tower that you are
within range of.
To activate Multi-site mode on a Motorola or
P25 networked system:
1. Press PGM to enter Program Mode.
2. Press p, q, t or u to navigate to a
talkgroup on the networked multi-site system.
3. Press
EDIT softkey, then CURR softkey.
