Vote Scan
Vote Scan provides you with wide area coverage in areas
where there are multiple base stations transmitting identical
information on different analog channels.
Your radio scans analog channels of multiple base stations and
performs a voting process to select the strongest received
signal. Once that is established, your radio unmutes to
transmissions from that base station.
The yellow LED blinks and the vote scan icon appears on the
status bar.
To respond to a transmission during a Vote Scan, follow the
same procedures as Responding to a Transmission During a
Scan on page 33.
Contacts Settings
Contacts provides “address-book” capabilities on your radio.
Each entry corresponds to an alias or ID that you use to initiate
a call.
Each entry, depending on context, associates with one of five
types of calls: Group Call, Private Call, All Call, PC Call or
Dispatch Call.
PC Call and Dispatch Call are data-related. They are only
available with the applications. Refer to the data applications
documentation for further details.
NOTE: If the Privacy feature is enabled on a channel, you can
make privacy-enabled Group Call, Private Call, and All
Call on that channel. Only target radios with the same
Privacy Key OR the same Key Value and
Key ID as your radio are able to unscramble the
transmission.
See Privacy on page 59 for more information.
Additionally, Contacts menu allows you to assign each entry to
a programmable number key or more on a keypad microphone.
If an entry is assigned to a number key, your radio can perform
a quick dial on the entry.
Your radio supports two Contacts lists, one for Analog contacts
and one for Digital contacts, with a a maximum of 500 members
for each Contacts list.
