TG = Talk Group 

 

A talk group represents a set of users that regularly need to communicate with one another. There can be 
any number of authorized users assigned to a talk group. Talk groups are established and organized by the 
OpenSky network administrator. An OpenSky talk group is similar to a channel within a conventional FM 
radio system. 

The 12-character x 3-line display shows the radio status. The first two lines of the display are text lines 
that change in response to user interaction with the menu buttons. Status icons appear in the bottom line 
(line 3) of the display (see Table 8-2).  

The display’s top line of text changes as the 

 and 

 buttons are pressed to scroll through the 

available menu options (see Table 8-4). When the dwell display is present, the selected talk group will be 
displayed. Other information, such as alert messages will scroll across the top line of the display. 

The second line will display information such as active menu, login prompt, emergency status, and dwell 
display messages as described in the following section.  

When not engaged in menu selection, the first two lines of the display default to the user-defined display, 
known as the “dwell display.” The top line indicates the currently selected talk group. The second line 
will display the currently selected profile, caller ID/alias

, received talk group, and current channel name. 

Press the 

 button repeatedly to scroll through and view one of these second line options.
