Using the Dynamic Regrouping Feature (Trunking
Only)
This feature allows the dispatcher to temporarily reassign
selected radios to a particular channel where they can
communicate with each other. This feature is typically used
during special operations and is enabled by a qualified radio
technician.
You will not notice whether your radio has this feature enabled
until a dynamic regrouping command is sent by the dispatcher.
Note: If you try to access a zone or channel that has been
reserved by the dispatcher as a dynamically regrouped
mode for other users, you hear an invalid tone.
Procedure:
1 When your radio is dynamically regrouped, it automatically
switches to the dynamically regrouped channel. You hear a
“gurgle” tone and the display shows the dynamically
regrouped channel’s name.
2 Press the PTT button to talk. Release PTT button to listen.
When the dispatcher cancels dynamic regrouping, the radio
automatically returns to the zone and channel that you were
using before the radio was dynamically regrouped.
Requesting a Reprogram (Trunking Only)
This feature allows you to notify the dispatcher when you want a
new dynamic regrouping assignment.
Procedure:
Press the preprogrammed Reprogram Request button to send
reprogram request to the dispatcher and proceed to Step 3.
OR
Follow the procedure below.
1 < or > to Rpgm.
2 Press the Menu Select button directly below Rpgm to send
reprogram request to the dispatcher.
3 The display shows Reprgrm rqst and Please wait.
4 If you hear five beeps, the dispatcher has acknowledged the
reprogram request. The display shows Ack received and
the radio returns to the Home screen.
OR
If the dispatcher does not acknowledge the reprogram
request within six seconds, you hear a low-pitched alert tone
and the display shows No acknowledge.
Try again or press H to cancel and return to the Home
screen.
