Understanding talkgroups
Note: This feature is available for digital channels only.
A talkgroup is a collection of radio users with whom you 
want to have private conversations. For example, a 
state's public safety agencies could have the following 
talkgroups:
■ Local talkgroups—used by a specific agency to com-
municate within their own local agency. It may even 
be made up of a county of public safety officers. 
■ Regional talkgroups—used by large state agencies 
that have regional divisions. 
■ Statewide talkgroups—used by an agency to com-
municate with a public safety member in another 
region. Statewide talkgroups, as their name suggests, 
enable public safety agencies to communicate with 
each other from one end of the state to the other. 
■ Special event talkgroups—may be used to manage 
emergencies encompassing a large area, or even 
events such as visits by heads of state.
