8.24 MAKE SELECTIVE CALLS
Selective calling is the capability for two voice radio units to obtain and use an independent talk path for a
private call. A properly equipped radio can initiate a selective call to any radio in the system that is also
programmed for selective calls.
In the OpenSky system, a radio can be configured to initiate selective calls through a pre-programmed list
in memory called a speed dial list. Alternatively, a properly equipped radio can initiate a selective call to
any radio in the system by entering the ten-digit User ID (similar to a telephone number) of the target
radio. Some radios are configured to only receive (not initiate) selective calls.
Selective calls are terminated if an emergency is declared. The network limits selective
calls to ten (10) minutes maximum.
If a Selective Call is attempted without registration, “No Priv” is displayed.
