3-16 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual
General Operation
The maximum number of channels assignable to a system is limited to 864, depending on
the option enabled. Channels may also be limited by available memory space as described
in the following information.
3.2.5.2 Channels
A channel selects a radio (RF) channel or talkgroup as follows:
Conventional Analog Mode - A channel selects a specific radio channel, Call Guard
(CTCSS/DCS) squelch coding, and other parameters unique to that channel.
Conventional Project 25 Mode - A channel selects a specific radio channel, NAC
squelch coding, talkgroup ID, and other parameters unique to that channel.
SMARTNET/SmartZone and Trunked Project 25 Modes - A channel selects a
specific talkgroup, announcement group, emergency group, and other parameters
unique to that talkgroup.
A maximum of up to approximately 864 channels (depending on the option enabled) can
be programmed with the preceding modes. These channels can belong to a single system
or multiple systems. The maximum number is also limited by the available memory. For
example, since more memory is required to program a SMARTNET system than a
conventional system, the total number of channels decreases as the number of
SMARTNET channels increases.
3.2.5.3 Zones
A zone is a collection of up to 16 channels of any type. For example, a zone could include
12 conventional channels and four SMARTNET channels. One use of zones may be to
program the channels used for operation in a different geographical areas. The maximum
number of zones is 32 or 54 depending on the option enabled. (The 54 Channel / 16 Zone
programmable feature, if optioned), allows for more than 16 channels in a zone.)
