105 Trunked Radio Features Operation
(cont.)
Automatic Multiple Site Selection (AMSS)
The automatic multiple site selection (AMSS)
feature extends communications beyond the reach of a
single trunked site (antenna location). In a system where
wide-area coverage is required, multiple trunking sites
are used.
AMSS automatically switches the radio to a
different site when the current-site signal becomes too
weak. Typically, this happens when the radio is moved
out of the range of one site and into the range of
another. Under normal conditions, this switching is
invisible to the user.
Viewing the Current Site and Forcing a Site Change
1. Momentarily press the search button (programmed
via the RSS).
a. If the radio is presently locked onto a site, the
display will show the number of current site.
b. If the radio is scanning for a new site, the
display will show “SCANNING” until it locks
onto a new site, then it will show the number
of the new site.
2. Press and hold down the search button to manually
force the change to a new site. You will hear a tone
and the display will show “SCANNING” while the
radio scans for a new site.
Then, the radio will automatically return to the
home display.
