Special Radio Features
Trunking System Controls
Failsoft
The failsoft system ensures continuous radio communications during a trunked system failure. If a trunking system fails completely, the radio goes into failsoft operation, and automatically switches to its failsoft channel.
During failsoft operation:
•Your radio transmits and receives in conventional operation on a predetermined frequency.
•You hear a medium-pitched tone every 10 seconds.
When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your radio automatically leaves failsoft operation and returns to trunked operation.
Out-of-Range
If you go out of the range of the system, and can no longer lock onto a control channel, you hear a low-pitched tone.
Your radio remains in this out-of-range condition until
• It locks onto a control channel,
• It locks onto a failsoft channel, or
• It is turned off.
