22 5-Tone Signaling

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.
