These types of trunked radio systemsare more commonly used for large statewidesystems, and for some systems that are used inlarge, rural counties.As a system user moves around, or “roams,” inthe coverage area of the network, their radio willautomatically find and use the nearest tower site.Each tower site includes a number of channels.One of these channels is used for control channeldata, and the remaining channels are used forvoice traffic. As a user moves away from thecoverage of one site, the radio will search othercontrol channel frequencies for a better site to use.Multi-site can be enabled by editing the trunkingsystem (TSYS) parameters for a Motorola orP25 system. Multi-site can be set to Off, Stat(Stationary) or Roam. By default, Multi-site is setto Off.The ROAM setting is ideal for those times whenyou are driving around in the service area of anetworked trunked radio system, as it allows theradio to find and use the best tower sites as youmove in and out of the coverage footprints ofdifferent sites.The STAT (stationary) setting is ideal for thosetimes when you are not moving and are withinrange of more than one tower site, as it will allowyou to monitor traffic from any tower that you arewithin range of.To activate Multi-site mode on a Motorola orP25 networked system:1. Press PGM to enter Program Mode.2. Press S, T, W or X to navigate to atalkgroup on the networked multi-site system.3. Press EDIT softkey, then CURR softkey.
