I am an end user on a Motorola Capacity Plus system. I have asked our representative at our radio shop a number of questions and he hasn't fully answered all of them to my satisfaction. Do most shops program talkaround on MOTO TRBO systems on output frequencies? We have two pairs of UHF frequencies. When we switch to talkaround, I assume that Talkaround 1 and 2, are simply Time Slot 1 and 2 on one frequency pair output frequency and that Talkaround 3 and 4 are Time Slot 1 and 2 on the other frequency pair output frequency. I assume that the Color Code are something other than the ones used for system talkgroups.
The other "assumption" I have is that when Talkarounds are used there would be no way for most end users to determine when the system talkgroups are covering up simplex activity. Do most shops instruct their customers to only use Talkaround when they are out of system coverage?
What I notice on the display of the XPR portables is signal strength has brief activity, so I suspect that is the data burst on the system. Would the data burst typically be on one RF frequency or both? Also, would it be on Time Slot 1, 2, or both?
