To activate Multi-site mode on a Motorola or P25 networked
system:
1. Press
PROG to enter Program Mode.
2. Press p, q, t or u to navigate to a talkgroup on the networked
multi-site system.
3. Press EDIT softkey, then CURR softkey.
4. Press p, q to scroll to the TSYS item and press the SEL key to
edit the TSYS parameters.
5. Press t or u to scroll to Multi-Site.
6. Press t or u to select Off, Stat or Roam.
Off: the scanner will find the first usable control channel in the
control channel list and use it until it is no longer usable.
Stat (Stationary): the scanner will track the system using any
control channel in the list that is usable.
Roam: the scanner will attempt to locate and use the best
possible control channel and ignore others, until the control
channel is no longer usable, then it will locate a new “best
control channel” to use. The scanner will always attempt to lock
on to control channels where the decoding quality is greater
than the Threshold Hi setting, and will search for new control
channels when the decoding quality of a control channel drops
below Threshold Lo setting. If no new control channels are
available that meet the Threshold Hi criteria, the scanner will
seek the best control channel to use, and continue checking
periodically for a new control channel that meets the Threshold
Hi criteria.
7. Press SAVE softkey to save your changes to the TSYS parameters.
8. Press SAVE softkey again to use the scanner.
You should experiment with the different Multi-site modes and the
threshold settings to find a combination that works best for your
location.
Notes:
Multi-site functionality is not available in EDACS or LTR trunking.
Threshold settings are only available when Multi-Site Roam is
selected.
It may be necessary to change the values used for Threshold
Hi and Threshold Low in the TSYS object to optimize Multi-site
Roam performance.
LTR Home Repeater AutoMove
LTR Home Repeater AutoMove (AutoMove HRs) takes the guesswork
out of programming LTR trunking systems when the home repeater
order is not known.
By default, AutoMove HRs is turned off and is controlled in the
individual LTR TSYS objects. When AutoMove HRs is turned on, you
may enter the LTR system frequencies in any order. Your scanner will
automatically move the frequencies to the proper home repeater
slots as transmissions are received on the system.
To enable LTR Home Repeater AutoMove:
1. Access the menu for the desired TSYS.
2. Press
q to scroll to AutoMove HRs.
3. Press t or u to toggle on or off for the selected TSYS.
4. Press Save softkey to save your changes.
