Broadcast Call

A broadcast call is a one-way group call, which has no hangtime and allows the operator to select a specific group of users to call.

It is supported for an Emergency Group Call.

If a radio users is not a part of the Broadcast call, and they press the PTT button, the call request is denied by the radio. If the broadcast call is set to interruptible, the call can be interrupted to support Emergency Voice Interrupt, Data Over Voice Interrupt and Remote Voice De-Key , but not Voice Interrupt.

Group Call; Unaddressed Call and Open Voice Channel Mode can all be transmitted as a broadcast call. A broadcast call selection option is available for a group call contact. If this option is not selected the call has a hangtime. If the broadcast call option is selected, the group call has no hangtime. You can configure a contact group ID as both a broadcast and a non-broadcast call by creating two contacts for the same group ID, where one contact has the broadcast call option selected and the other not selected. In this scenario the two contacts are associated with different channel positions.

This feature is available in most MOTOTRBO radios as of R2.10.0.
