84 Dual radio operation (TM8260 only)

Radio controls in a dual radio system

Certain radio controls and functions are global and apply to 

the radio system as a whole. The on/off key turns the entire 

radio system on or off. The volume control adjusts the volume 

of all received audio and indicators. Functions and menu 

options relating to the radio display and audible indicators 

are also global.

Many other functions and menu options apply to the fore-

ground radio only. Examples include changing channels and 

zones, and toggling monitor. See 

“Switching between 

radios” on page 85

.

You can switch between the various dual receive and trans-

mit states using one or two function keys programmed for 

dual body mode and single body mode. If programmed for a 

single key, dual body mode is assigned to a short press and 

single body mode is assigned to a long press. The following 

diagram summarizes how to enable dual receive and dual 

transmit and how to return to single body mode.
