Receiving a call
When there is valid activity on your radio’s currently
selected channel or group, the radio then unmutes
and you can hear the call.
If an incoming call contains special signaling that
matches the signaling programmed for your radio, the
LED lights up green and your radio may give a ringing
tone.
Using the radio in different
repeater areas
Your radio may have a group of channels
programmed as a voting group. The channels in the
voting group all carry the same traffic, but from
different repeaters. As your radio moves in and out of
different repeater coverage areas, the best
communication channel is automatically selected for
you to use.
This channel is known as the ‘home’ channel, and will
be the channel you make and receive calls on. While
voting is active, the scanning icon appears on the
display.
The section "Selecting a scan or voting group" on
page 72 explains how to select a group. A group can
be either a voting or a scanning group.
Suspending a channel from a voting group
You may be able to use the function key programmed
for nuisance delete to temporarily delete one of the
channels from the voting group.
