I am a relative novice to LMR, but am working to get our system fully operational.
We are running 3 XPR 8400 UHF Repeaters connected via IPSC and a combination of SL7550, XPR 7550, and XPR 3500 radios.
Radios are used for everyday operational purposes, facilities, securities, logistics, etc., as well as for emergency purposes. Currently we use one slot for all day-to-day operational needs (with approximately 5 talk groups) and the other slot is dedicated for emergency communications.
I have done some research on implementing an emergency mode on the Mototrbo system, but have a few questions...
1) Is it possible to force all radios "on" when an emergency alert is issued? I doubt this is possible, but would be great.
2) Is it possible to force all radios to slot 2, our emergency channel, when an emergency alert is issued? Many of our users live on Slot 1 for day to day operations and fail to switch channels/slots in an emergency.
Any other suggestions/models for emergency mode would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
