●

If signaling has been programmed on the selected channel, you will hear a call only if the signal tone matches the tone set up on your transceiver.

Note:

●

Signaling allows your transceiver to code your calls. This will prevent you from listening to unwanted calls. It does not make calls private, it only prevents them from being heard by transceivers set with a different signaling code. Refer to “SIGNALING” {p. 40} for

details.

●

When on a Trunking channel, if the Group ID of a received call matches your Group ID, you will hear the call.

Receiving Individual Calls (NXDN)

When you receive an individual call on a Trunking channel, a ringing tone will sound and the caller’s ID and “Individual” appear on the display. To receive the call, press the PTT switch. To deny the call, press the key programmed as [Clear]. After receiving the call, you can respond to the call by pressing and holding the PTT switch and speaking into the transceiver as you would during a normal call.
