MotoTRBO channel monitoring question

[lpeatech]

Hi all,

I'm learning MotoTRBO and I'm trying to figure out how to configure a radio to radio channel to receive voice calls on an IP Site Connect channel, but not be able to transmit on the IPSC channel. Please forgive me if this is a dumb question. I'm pretty new to this stuff.

I would like it to work this way:

-Users would be on a radio to radio channel. This would be used by linemen to talk while they are pulling cable through underground conduit.

-Calls from the dispatch channel (IPSC) would be received by users on the radio to radio channel, but would not be able to transmit back to dispatch without changing to one of the IPSC channels.


Can this be done, and if so, what settings would I adjust? I'm using xpr6400 portables and xpr4550 mobiles on this system. I can provide any further information necessary.

Thanks!

There are a couple of ways to do this, but the simplest is to set up a scan list to scan both talkgroups with it set to scan automatically and to transmit on the selected channel. Missed traffic would be minimized since it's only two channels. You could set it for priority scan too for which ever talkgroup you wanted.

Thank you! That's along the lines of what I was thinking but I wanted to check with someone who knows more about it than me. Much appreciated!
