Initiating a Group Call

Press and hold the PTT button to initiate
a group call on your Primary Talkgroup.
The example to the right illustrates the
display if Fred pressed the PTT to initiate
a call on the Electricians talkgroup. This
is Fred's Primary Talkgroup for Mode 3.
All subscriber units that have affiliated
with your Primary Talkgroup as either a
Primary or Secondary Talkgroup in any
Talkgroup Mode will receive your group call if they are not
already engaged in an active call.
The following screens will be displayed on the receiver sub-
scriber units indicating they have joined the call. The second
line of the display will indicate the Mode number followed by
Primary or Secondary Talkgroup, which may be aliased. The
third line of the display indicates the PTT -ID of the unit initiat-
ing the group call, which can also be aliased.
Example: Jason joins the Electricians
talkgroup. He has also selected Electri-
cians as his Primary Talkgroup for Talk-
group 3, but he has no alias for his
talkgroup, so the Talkgroup number (TG
ID) is displayed. Fred's PTT-ID is dis-
played on the third line.
Example: Julie joins the call and the unit
updates the alias to indicate active Sec-
ondary Talkgroup. (Mode 1, Secondary
Talkgroup 3). Fred's PTT-ID is displayed
on the third line.
