About trunking operation
When your radio is operating on a trunking network, several
channels can be shared by a large number of radio users. Your
radio communicates with the trunking network on a ‘control
channel’, and the network allocates you a ‘traffic channel’ when
you want to make a call. When your call is complete, the traffic
channel can then be used for calls by other radio users on the
network.
Checking that the network is available
When your radio has access to a trunked network, the LED slowly
flashes green and appears in the display. The current control
channel may also appear in the display.
If access to the trunked network is lost, the LED slowly flashes
orange, and disappears.
