You can only communicate with other radios operating at the same site when 6,7(7581.,1* is displayed. No wide-area calls can be made from a site-trunking site.FailsoftIf a trunking system experiences a complete failure, the radio will revert to failsoft operation and automatically switch to its failsoft channel. During failsoft, trunking repeaters will transmit a medium-pitched tone every 10 seconds. The radio periodically leaves failsoft to search for a trunking site. The radio returns to failsoft if no trunking sites are found. If you press the PTT button while the radio is searching for a trunking site, the radio returns to failsoft and transmits. In failsoft, you can only communicate with other radios on the same mode and site. No wide-area call can be made from a failsoft mode. When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your radio will automatically leave the failsoft operation and return to trunked operation.

ASTRO XTL 5000 Digital Mobile Radio with W3 Control Head 103GlossaryACK Acknowledgment of communication.Channel A group of characteristics, such as transmit/receive frequency pairs, radio parameters, and encryption encoding.Coded Squelch Used on conventional channels to make sure you hear only the communication meant for you.Control Channel In a trunking system, one of the channels that is used to provide a continuous, two-way/data communications path between the central controller and all radios on the system.Conventional Typically refers to radio-to-radio communications, sometimes through a repeater. You share a frequency, or frequencies, with other users without the aid of a central controller to assign communication channels. Therefore, you should monitor each channel before transmitting to avoid interfering with another user who may be transmitting.Cursor A visual tracking marker (a blinking line) that indicates a location on the display.Digital Private-Line (DPL) A continuous, sub-audible data signal, transmitted with the carrier.Dispatcher An individual who has radio system management duties.Failsoft A back-up system allowing you to communicate in a non-trunked, conventional mode should the trunked system fail.FCC Federal Communications Commission.Hang Up Disconnect.
104GlossaryHome Display The first display information after the radio completes its self test.LCD Liquid-Crystal Display.Mode A programmed combination of operating parameters; for example, a channel or talkgroup.Mode-Slaving Radio programmed to automatically give the proper operation for a given mode you have selected.Monitoring (Conventional Operation)Press a programmed monitor button to listen to traffic on the active channel. This way, you can avoid talking over someone else’s conversation.Page A one-way alert, with audio and/or display messages.Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button The PTT button engages the transmitter and places the radio in transmit (send) operation when pressed. Press this button to transmit, and release it to receive.Repeater A conventional radio feature, in which you talk through a receive/transmit facility that re-transmits received signals in order to improve communications range and coverage.RF Radio Frequency. A part of the general frequency spectrum between the audio and infrared light regions (about 10 kHz to 10,000,000 MHz).
ASTRO XTL 5000 Digital Mobile Radio with W3 Control Head 105GlossarySquelch The muting of audio circuits when received signal levels fall below a pre-determined threshold. With carrier squelch, you hear all channel activity which exceeds the radio’s preset squelch level.Standby An operating condition whereby the radio’s speaker is muted but still continues to receive data.Talkgroup An organization (or group) of radio users who communicate with each other, using the same communication path.Tone Private-Line (PL) Coded SquelchA continuous sub-audible tone transmitted with the carrier.Trunking The automatic sharing of communications paths between a large number of users. Allows radio users to share a smaller number of frequencies because a repeater, or communications path, is assigned to a talkgroup for the length of a conversation.Zone A grouping of channels or talkgroups.
