maximum of eight status conditions is possible.

The radio automatically exits the feature, if the

Responding to the Dynamic Regrouping Feature
(Trunking Only)
This feature allows the dispatcher to temporarily
reassign selected radios to a particular channel
where they can communicate with each other. This
feature is typically used during special operations and
is enabled by a qualified radio technician.
You will not notice whether your radio has this feature
enabled until a dynamic regrouping command is sent
by the dispatcher.
