Tait TP9400 Series P25 User Manual - Checking That The Channel Is

72  Operating in conventional mode

Checking that the channel is 

clear

Monitor allows you to override some or all of the 

radio’s mutes, allowing you to hear if there is any 

traffic (including talkgroup and individual calls) on a 

channel.

For analog channels, this is so that you can check that 

the channel is clear before you make a call.

Using the radio in different 

repeater areas

Your radio may have a group of channels 

programmed as a voting group. The channels in the 

voting group all carry the same traffic, but from 

different repeaters. As your radio moves in and out of 

different repeater coverage areas, the best 

communication channel is automatically selected for 

you to use.

This channel is known as the ‘home’ channel, and 

may be the channel you make and receive calls on. 

While voting is active, 

 appears on the display.
