IP Site Connect
This feature allows your radio to extend conventional
communication beyond the reach of a single site, by connecting
to different available sites which are connected via an Internet
Protocol (IP) network.
When the radio moves out of range from one site and into the
range of another, it connects to the new site's repeater to send
or receive calls/data transmissions. Depending on your settings,
this is done automatically or manually.
If the radio is set to do this automatically, it scans through all
available sites when the signal from the current site is weak or
when the radio is unable to detect any signal from the current
site. It then locks on to the repeater with the strongest Received
Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value.
In a manual site search, the radio searches for the next site in
the roam list that is currently in range (but which may not have
the strongest signal) and locks on to it.
NOTE: Each channel can only have either Scan or Roam
enabled, not both at the same time.
Channels with this feature enabled can be added to a particular
roam list. The radio searches the channel(s) in the roam list
during the automatic roam operation to locate the best site.
A roam list supports a maximum of 16 channels (including the
Selected Channel).
