Making a Priority Dispatch Calls
If a talkgroup is congested, the Priority Dispatch feature allows you to call the dispatcher on a different

assigned Priority Talkgroup.Priority Dispatch is not available during Emergency operations. Scan
feature is suspended when Priority Dispatch is initiated.

Dynamic Regrouping (Trunking Only)
This feature allows the dispatcher to temporarily reassign selected radios to a particular channel to
communicate with each other.
When your radio is dynamically regrouped, it receives a dynamic regrouping command and
automatically switches to the dynamically regrouped channel. You hear a tone and the display shows
the name of the dynamically regrouped channel.
When the dispatcher cancels dynamic regrouping, the radio automatically returns to the previous zone
and channel.
If you access a zone or channel that has been reserved as a dynamically regrouped mode for other
users, you hear an invalid tone.
6.1.5.1
Classification of Regrouped Radios
The dispatcher can classify regrouped radios into Select Enabled or Select Disabled categories.
Select Enabled
Select-enabled radios are free to change to any available channel, including the dynamic-
regrouping channel, once you have selected the dynamic-regrouping position.
