Special Radio Features
• Failsoft
If a trunking system experiences a complete failure, the radio will revert to
failsoft operation and automatically switch to its failsoft channel. During
failsoft, the trunking repeaters will transmit a medium-pitched tone every 10
seconds. When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your radio
will automatically leave the failsoft operation and return to trunked operation.
• Out-of-Range
If you go out of range of the system and can no longer lock onto a control
channel, the display will alternately display "OUT OF RANGE" and the
currently selected zone/channel combination, and/or sound a low-pitched
tone. Your radio will remain in this out-of-range condition until it (1) locks
onto a control channel, (2) locks onto a failsoft channel, or (3) the radio is
turned off.
• Site Lock
This feature allows your radio to lock onto a specific site and not roam among
wide-area talkgroup sites. This is particularly useful when operating at the
fringe of a system's coverage.
