Dialing 5-Tone Group Calls
The way you dial 5-tone group calls depends on the
way your radio was programmed. Group calls can
be dialed using the # character, the * character, or
both. If you are unsure what characters you can use
for dialing 5-tone group calls, consult your system
manager or the person who programmed your
radio.
■ You may be able to dial the digits common to all
members of the group and then dial the # char-
acter ( key), as a substitute for all the
remaining digits.
For example, dialing 12# sends the number
12GGGG (six digit 5-tone identity).
■ You may be able to dial the group tone individu-
ally, using the * character ( key).
For example, dialing 12*4# sends the number
12G4GG (six digit 5-tone identity).
In the following example, you wish to make a
5-tone group call to all numbers beginning with 37
(five digit 5-tone identity). The sequence of key-
strokes, and the corresponding characters that
appear in the control head display, are shown in the
table below.
