Allows a radio partied to an active voice call to interrupt another radios voice transmission and begin a new voice transmission within the same call. Note: the interrupting radio must be partied to the active call.
Voice Interrupt Functionality If provisioned by the CPS, Voice Interrupt is automatically invoked if the PTT is pressed while an interruptible voice transmission to which the radio is partied is present on the channel. The interrupting radio de-keys the current voice transmission but does not clear down the active repeater or direct mode call. The interrupting radio then initiates a new voice transmission within the same call. Other radio users partied to the call then hear the interrupting radios voice transmission.

1. The interrupting radio must be provisioned to allow the initiation of a voice interrupt:
In Call Criteria set to TX Interrupt in CPS (Channel Data)
1. 2.
3.
Provides users partied to a call with a more interactive experience. Provides users partied to a call with the ability to interrupt a prolonged voice transmission to disseminate latebreaking or urgent information (e.g. a security guard being assaulted) to other members of the call as quickly as possible. Provides a wireless console (e.g. a mobile with wire-line console equipment attached) or a Designated User with priority access to the radio channel.
Interrupted radio:
The radio being interrupted will sound a talk prohibit tone (if provisioned) indicating that the user should release the PTT.
Note: if two or more radios invoke Voice Interrupt simultaneously, the interrupt fails due to a signaling collision, therefore:
Minimize the number of radios with Voice Interrupt enabled in a group. Avoid using Voice Interrupt unless truly necessary. Provide guidelines for acceptable use of Voice Interrupt. Train users to allow short periods of time before responding to transmitting radio users.
MOTOTRBO R1.6a Training MOTOTRBO Slide 16
Allows a radio to remotely de-key a transmitting radios voice transmission and clear down the active call.
Note: the interrupting radio may or may not be partied to the active call.
Remote Voice De-key Functionality Remote Voice De-key is invoked if the user presses a button provisioned (by the CPS) for Remote Voice De-key while an interruptible voice transmission is present on the channel. The interrupting radio de-keys the current voice transmission and clears down the active repeater or direct mode call. If invoked during a repeater call hang time period, the active repeater call is still cleared down. Once the interrupted radio has de-keyed, any Radio or Voice Dispatcher can then begin a new call irrespective of whether it was partied to the original call.
MOTOTRBO R1.6a Training MOTOTRBO Slide 18
Remote Voice De-key Programming Requirements 1. The interrupted radio must be provisioned to allow an interruption to occur:
Allow Interrupt enabled in CPS (Channel Data).
1. The interrupting radio must be provisioned to allow the initiation of a voice de-key interrupt:
Preprogrammed button designated as TX Interrupt Remote De-key (Radio Buttons).
Remote Voice De-key Advantages 1. Allows the Remote Monitor transmission from a radio to be remotely terminated. 2. Allows the channel to be cleared when a radio experiences a stuck microphone condition. 3. Allows the channel to be cleared when a Radio User is making excessively long voice transmissions, preventing others from accessing the radio channel. 4. Provides a wireless console (e.g. a mobile with wire-line console equipment attached) or a Designated User with priority access to the radio channel. 5. Provides a wireless console or a Designated User with the ability to stop a voice call for any user to start a new call.
MOTOTRBO R1.6a Training MOTOTRBO Slide 20
Remote Voice De-key User Experience Interrupting radio: If a user presses the Remote Voice De-key button to de-key a transmission and clear down the active call, the radio will either:
Successfully end the current call and sound a positive indication tone (note: if unsuccessful at first, the radio will automatically re-try several times before giving up). Or, sound a negative indication tone which means the Remote Voice De-key failed (due to data transmission on the channel or uninterruptible voice).
Interrupted radio: The radio being interrupted will sound a talk prohibit tone (if provisioned) indicating that the user should release the PTT.
If the radio was transmitting a silent emergency or remote monitor, there will be no audible indication.
Other radios partied to the call: All other radios partied to the call will sound an optional MOTOTRBO R1.6a Training MOTOTRBO channel free tone (if provisioned). The channel will then be Slide 21
Allows a radio to de-key a transmitting radios voice transmission, clear down the active call and initiate a new Emergency Alarm or Emergency Call transmission on the channel.
Note: the interrupting radio may or may not be partied to the original call.
Emergency Voice Interrupt Functionality If provisioned by the CPS, Emergency Voice Interrupt is automatically invoked if the user presses the emergency button while an interruptible voice transmission present on the channel. The interrupting radio de-keys the current voice transmission and clears down the active repeater or direct mode call. The interrupting radio then initiates an Emergency Alarm, Emergency Alarm with Call or Emergency Alarm with Voice to Follow. The interrupted radio may not necessarily be a recipient of the resulting Emergency Alarm / Call.
MOTOTRBO R1.6a Training MOTOTRBO Slide 23
Emergency Voice Interrupt Programming Requirements 1. The interrupted radio must be provisioned to allow an interruption to occur:
Allow Interrupt enabled in CPS (Channel Data).
1. The interrupting radio must be provisioned to allow the initiation of an emergency voice interrupt:
TX Interrupt enabled in CPS (Digital Emergency System).
1.
Emergency Voice Interrupt User Experience Interrupting radio: If a user presses the Emergency button to interrupt a voice transmission, the radio will either:
Successfully Interrupt the voice transmission and initiate an emergency alarm (note: if unsuccessful at first, the radio will automatically re-try several times before giving up). Or sound the emergency tone which means the Emergency Voice Interrupt failed (in which case the radio attempts to send the emergency alarm impolitely / politely based on CPS configuration).
Interrupted radio: The radio being interrupted radio will sound a Talk Prohibit Tone (if provisioned) indicating that the user should release the PTT. Other radios partied to the call: All other radios partied to the original call will sound an MOTOTRBO R1.6a Training MOTOTRBO Slide 26 optional channel free tone (if provisioned).
Emergency Voice Interrupt - Emergency Voice If Emergency Voice Interrupt is provisioned by the CPS, then the radio uses the following procedures for Emergency Voice transmissions:
Voice Interrupt is automatically invoked if the PTT is pressed while an interruptible voice transmission to which the radio is not partied is present on the channel (including a transmission initiated via a remote monitor command).
If the Voice Interrupt fails or if the current voice transmission is uninterruptible, then the radio uses the established (non-polite) procedures for Emergency Voice transmissions.
The normal In Call Criteria is applied if the PTT is pressed while a voice transmission to which the radio is partied is present on the channel.
(Note: Emergency Voice is transmitted whenever the PTT on a radio that initiated an emergency is pressed while that radio still remains in emergency mode)
MOTOTRBO R1.6a Training MOTOTRBO Slide 27
Transmit Interrupt OB and External Accessory The radios option board and external accessory are also able to invoke a transmit interrupt and begin a new voice transmission on the channel. The radio supports an API (incorporated in the ADK) that allows an external accessory / application and / or option board application to explicitly invoke a transmit interrupt. This allows for example a Tx Interrupt button on a PC console to remotely de-key a radio that is transmitting voice.
For a Digital Channel, set the Allow Interruption flag. This will allow the radios voice transmissions to interrupted.
For a Digital Channel, set the In Call Criteria to TX Interrupt. This will allow the radio to interrupt voice transmissions to which the radio is partied.
For a Digital Channel, this option should be enabled if there are radios on the channel which transmit interruptible voice in direct mode (i.e. on a direct mode channel or in talkaround mode on a repeater channel). The purpose of this option is to force the radio to increase the channel sample time when deciding whether or not the channel is idle. This is necessary because transmit interruptible direct mode transmissions contain regular gaps which may occur at the point when a radio is sampling the channel to see if it is idle.
For a Digital Emergency system, enable the TX Interrupt option. This will allow the radio to initiate Emergency Voice Interrupts.
On the Buttons screen, simply designate which programmable button you would like to press to remotely de-key the transmitter.

Training Agenda 1. Hardware Software Requirements 2. Define Dynamic Mixed Mode (DMM)
Feature Overview Configuration Recommendations Limitations
1. Basic Programming
A repeater feature Repeater must contain R1.6a (or later) firmware Supports VHF, UHF1 & UHF2 bands Supports 12.5KHz, 20KHz and 25KHz analogue bandwidth Supports 12.5kHz digital bandwidth Repeater must be programmed to use this functionality. Repeater must operate on a DMM channel
DIGITAL and ANALOGUE Feature!
Dynamic mixed Mode does not require new MOTOTRBO hardware. Customers can easily software upgrade their current systems to enable this functionality!
Tone Panel Slot 1 4-wire interface Dynamic Mixed Mode Repeater (R1.6a) Desk-set
Fin/Fout
Slot 2
Allows MOTOTRBO radios in digital and analogue modes and legacy analogue radios to key up on the same MOTOTRBO repeater channel. Supports analogue consoles such as desk-set, tone panel, etc. connected via the MOTOTRBO repeater 4wire interface.
Dynamic Mixed Mode Functionality - Digital When the repeater receives a digital call over the air, it re-transmits the call in digital mode
Supports 2 digital slots. Repeater suspends qualifying analogue calls (including emergency) until digital transmissions have ceased on both slots and corresponding hang times (call hang + channel hang) have expired. If analogue console tries to key up, repeater generates audible alert (channel busy tone) via 4-wire repeater interface (over Speaker and Rx Audio pins) to indicate that channel is busy and console access has been denied. Upon expiry of corresponding hang times, repeater resumes qualifying both analogue and digital calls.
Dynamic Mixed Mode Functionality - Analogue When the repeater receives an analogue call either over the air or via the repeater 4-wire interface, it retransmits the call in analogue mode Repeater suspends qualifying digital calls (including data and emergency) until analogue transmissions have ceased and call hang time has expired. Analogue console device(s) supported. Upon expiry of call hang time, repeater resumes qualifying both digital and analogue calls.
The repeater only repeats analogue calls received over the air which are qualified by PL (DPL/TPL) Only PL (DPL/TPL) squelch type repeat is supported on a DMM channel (CSQ repeat is not supported). If the receive squelch type is set to CSQ, the received audio is sent via the Rx Audio accessory pin for community repeater operation.
To enable DMM, the repeater must be programmed with a Dynamic Mixed Mode channel A DMM channel is contains both the digital and analogue parameters The following must be configured in the DMM channel for non-community (analogue) repeater operation: Rx and Tx squelch types with PL (DPL / TPL) Audio type with filtered squelch The following must be configured in the DMM channel for community (analogue) repeater operation: Rx and Tx squelch types with CSQ Audio type with flat unsquelch
MOTOTRBO R1.6a Training MOTOTRBO Slide 45
When configuring the digital Call Hang Times and the digital Subscriber Inactivity Timer (SIT), consideration should be given to the fact that analogue radios will not be able to access the channel at the end of a digital call until these timers have expired. When configuring the analogue Call Hang Time, consideration should be given to the fact that digital radios will not be able to access the channel at the end of an analogue call until this timer has expired. Keeping the Call Hang Times as short as possible and the digital SIT slightly greater than the digital Call Hang Times will allow fair access to both analogue and digital radios.
MOTOTRBO R1.6a Training MOTOTRBO Slide 46
Configure Tx and Rx Squelch Types as PL (TPL or DPL) If RX Squelch Type is configured as CSQ, radios will unmute to digital transmissions and play out garbled audio Configure digital and analogue radios for polite admit criteria so that they dont impolitely key over the top of each other Configure the Admit Criteria for analogue radios as Correct PL Configure the Admit Criteria for digital radios as Channel Free
Digital Radio:
Radio user will hear channel busy tone if PTT asserted on digital radio configured for polite operation (i.e. Admit Criteria set to Channel free) while analogue call still in progress on channel. If radio configured to scan, there may be audio truncation at beginning of new incoming call.
Dynamic Mixed Mode does not support the following features: Capacity Plus IP Site connect RDAC over IP Transmit Interrupt FCC Type-I and Type-II monitoring Antenna relay Legacy analogue radios can not hear digital calls As a workaround, use 2 mobiles and the COR (Carrier on Receive) feature
MOTOTRBO R1.6a Training MOTOTRBO Slide 51
Repeater Configuration Description Channel Repeater Type Add and configure a Dynamic Mixed Mode type of channel. Configure as Single Site. Dynamic Mixed Mode does not support IP Site Master and IP Site Peer configurations.
RX Squelch, TX Squelch Configure as TPL or DPL for non-community repeater operation (received audio will be repeated). Configure as CSQ for community repeater operation (received audio will NOT be repeated, instead audio will be sent over the Rx Audio accessory pin).
Radio configuration
RX Squelch Type
Description
Configure as TPL or DPL. If configured for CSQ, then the radios will un-mute to all digital transmissions and play garbled audio. Configure as TPL or DPL. Configure analogue Admit Criteria as Correct PL and digital Admit Criteria as Channel Free. This duration depends on the number of scan members in the scan list. Disable priority scanning on all scan members in the scan list.
Radio configuration
Talkback
Description
It is recommended to enable Talkback to allow the radio to talk back on the channel on which it un-mutes during scan. It is recommended to set this to Non-Priority Channel so that PL decoding is performed on non-priority scan list member channels. It is recommended to disable channel marker. Choose Selected or one of the configured scan members. It is not recommended that this be set to Last Active Channel.
Description
This field defines the duration of the analog scan hang timer. The timer starts at the end of the analog call hang time and keeps the radio on the analog channel while the timer is running. It is recommended that the Analog Hang Time be set to 0 in order that radios can resume scanning immediately an analog call ends. Note: This field can only be programmed for R1.6a radios or above.
This field defines the duration of the digital scan hang timer. The timer starts at the beginning of the digital call hang time and keeps the radio on the digital channel while the timer is running. At the end of a digital call the repeater reserves a DMM channel for digital calls until the end of SIT + 1 sec. Since analog calls are not permitted until SIT + 1 sec, it is recommended that the Digital Hang Time be set to SIT + 1 sec. Note: This field can only be programmed for R1.6a radios or above.
Description This field is applicable to each channel programmed in the radio. The RSSI threshold is used when the Admit Criteria is Channel Free or Correct PL. The radio will be allowed channel access if the Received Signal Strength is less than the configured RSSI threshold. The default value is -124 dBm, but this can be increased to overcome possible RF interference issues that may result in false channel busy indications. Note: This field can only be programmed for R1.6a radios or above.
To avoid RF collisions resulting from a legacy analogue radio keying over ongoing digital calls, Busy Channel Lockout (PL Lockout) must be enabled on all legacy analogue radios.

Topic 3 Operation
Emergency Overview Emergency Channel / Group Emergency Alarm Emergency Alarm with Call Emergency Alarm with Voice to Follow
Operation
Emergency Overview
An emergency always commences with the transmission of an Alarm to a group of high-tier (display) radios. A single radio within this group (typically a central control radio) must have the Emergency Alarm Ack option selected. If no acknowledgement is received, the initiating radio re-tries several times until it gives up. Once the acknowledgement is received by the initiating radio, what happens next depends on whether the initiating radio is provisioned for Emergency Alarm, Emergency Alarm w/ Call or Emergency Alarm w/ Voice to Follow. The audio / visual indications provided by the initiating radio to indicate the progress of the emergency depend on the Alarm Type configuration: Regular: Audio / visual indications given to indicate progress of emergency. Silent: No audio / visual indications given to indicate that emergency has been initiated. Furthermore radio shall not un-mute to any receive audio while it remains in emergency mode. Silent w/ Voice: As per Silent, however radio shall un-mute to qualified receive audio. If the initiating radio is in silent emergency mode (i.e. Silent or Silent w/ Voice Alarm Type selected), pressing the PTT breaks the radio silence, ends the silent condition and enables the emergency audio / visual indications (note: if the initiating radio is remote monitored by another radio this also breaks radio silence however it does NOT end the silent condition).
MOTOTRBO R1.6a Training MOTOTRBO Slide 74
Operation
Emergency Channel / Group
For digital (conventional) systems: The initiating radio sets up the emergency on the channel indicated by the Revert Channel field. This is either a pre-defined (revert) channel or the currently selected channel. The group to which the emergency is addressed is the group Contact Name associated with the channel on which the emergency is initiated. It is not recommended that radios scan for incoming emergency Alarms. It is more effective for an emergency initiator to switch to the acknowledging (central control) radios channel than for the acknowledging radio to scan multiple channels for emergency initiator. Non acknowledging radios in the emergency group will most likely miss emergency alarms if they are scanning multiple channels. Even if TX Preamble is used by the emergency initiator, this will not help because the TX Preamble is only used if the alarm needs to be re-transmitted more than once. For Capacity Plus systems: The initiating radio sets up the emergency on the Rest Channel. The group to which the emergency is addressed is the group Contact associated with Capacity Plus Emergency System. Any radio can belong to an emergency group and receive emergency calls, but only high-tier (display) radios can receive emergency alarms.
MOTOTRBO R1.6a Training MOTOTRBO Slide 75
Operation
Emergency Alarm Initiating Radio
If Emergency On button pressed, radio enters emergency mode and transmits emergency alarm one or more times until it receives an acknowledgement or gives up. While radio in emergency mode: If radio receives an acknowledgement, it stops transmitting emergency alarms and exits emergency mode (see note below). If radio gives up transmitting emergency alarms, it indicates Emergency Alarm Failed and exits emergency mode. If Emergency Off button pressed, radio exits emergency mode. If Emergency On button pressed, radio reinitiates Emergency. If channel changed, radio exits emergency mode and where emergency enabled on new channel, it reinitiates Emergency on new channel.
Note: If Silent or Silent w/ Voice Alarm Type selected, radio remains in (silent) emergency mode when acknowledgement received (or when radio gives up transmitting emergency alarms). To exit emergency mode, user needs to press PTT or Emergency Off button.
Operation
Emergency Alarm Receiving Radio
Supported only by high tier (display) radios If radio receives an emergency alarm addressed either to its selected Contact Name or a digital group in its selected RX Group List: Where Emergency Alarm Indication option selected, radio provides an audio / visual indication and enters emergency mode. Where Emergency Alarm Ack option selected, radio also transmits back an acknowledgement. While radio in emergency mode: If any button pressed, radio silences audio emergency indication (but remains in emergency mode). If back button pressed then (within 2 seconds) Emergency On button pressed, emergency mode switches to hidden state. From then on, pressing back button followed (within 2 seconds) by Emergency On button, toggles emergency mode between hidden and shown state. If channel changed, emergency mode also switches to hidden state. If radio qualifies incoming voice, it un-mutes speaker. If PTT pressed and emergency mode in shown state, radio transmits non-emergency voice back to emergency group (i.e. group to which incoming emergency alarm was addressed). If PTT pressed and emergency mode in hidden state, radio transmits non-emergency voice as per non-emergency operation. If back button pressed then (within 2 seconds) Emergency Off button pressed while emergency mode in shown state, radio exits emergency mode. If Emergency On button pressed, radio switches to initiating emergency.
Notes: 1. A single radio (typically a central control radio) must have the Emergency Alarm Ack option selected. 2. While emergency mode in hidden state, radio behaviour as per non-emergency mode and emergency alarm list hidden, however emergency icon displayed and LED flashes red.
