Special Radio Features
Trunking System Controls
Failsoft
The Failsoft system ensures continuous radio communications during 
a trunked system failure. If a trunking system fails completely, the 
radio goes into failsoft operation and automatically switches to its 
failsoft channel. 
During failsoft operation:
When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your radio 
automatically leaves failsoft operation and returns to trunked 
operation.

control channel: 
Your radio transmits and receives 
in conventional operation on a 
predetermined frequency.

every 10 seconds.
