Broadcast Call

The Broadcast Group Call (also called Site Wide Call) is a high-priority group call from the console operator (or
dispatcher) to all users located at one or more sites. The radios are configured to monitor a Broadcast Call, but you
cannot talk back. The call can be received as a normal Broadcast Call or an Emergency Broadcast Call. The Broadcast
