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:

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.

Your radio transmits and

receives in conventional
operation on a predetermined
frequency.

You hear a medium-pitched

tone every 10 seconds.
