Making a talkgroup call
A talkgroup is a collection of radios on a trunking 
system. Trunked talkgroups are found in the Channels 
menu, along with conventional channels that may also 
be available for the currently selected zone.
Depending on how your radio is programmed, you may 
be able to press a function key or use your Quick Access 
menu to select a trunked talkgroup.
Note: In some situations, your call will not proceed. For 
an explanation of the radio behavior, see 
“Unconnected 
calls” on page 68.
To make a talkgroup call on a trunking system:
1 Select the required zone:
■ Press Menu and select Zones.
■ Scroll to the zone you want, and press Select.
(Depending on how your radio is programmed, you 
may be able to press a function key or use your 
Quick Access menu to select a zone.)
Your radio now indicates the zone in which it is 
operating, either as a letter in the top right corner of 
the display, or as a zone name in the second line of 
the display.
