I have a few questions for someone out there that may be a trunking expert that wouldn't mind answering a few technical questions regarding trunked programming and monitoring.


1) Once I get my MTS2000 programmed to the local trunked EMS system for monitoring, will the system be able to see my radio and shut it off?

2) If so, how does this work? If I don't TX how would the system know that I was even out there monitoring?

3) If by chance my radio is knocked off the system, what happens to my radio? Will it be rendered useless? It doesn't get turned into a paper weight does it?

Thanks in advance for any and all replies-

Do a search on inhibiting or inhibit a radio. Everyone here will tell you to get a scanner unless you get authorizatoin from the system administrator to be allowed and on the system and let them set it up.

what kind of trunking system is it? and i'll secoend the statement, get a scanner and save yourself headaches.

yes, if your illegally programmed radio is on a TRS, then it can be inhibited remotely.

do yourself a favor. get a scanner. they can't be inhibited nor do you violate amy laws by programming one.

You dont have to push the PTT button for a MTS2000 (with trunking) to transmit. Most of these radios are set up to affiliate automaticly with the trunking system they are already programmed with. All you have to do is turn it on and that process will happen without you being aware of it.

In programming, set your affiliation type as "On PTT" not "Automatic", then under Radio Wide Switch Configuration, set both positions of your concentric switch (the one with "Ø" and "O") as Transmit Inhibit.

If your radio is inhibited, which I doubt it would be, its just a matter of reloading the codeplug back into it. If your radio is inhibited, when you turn it on I believe you get a continous error tone...

Actually, it shows the "self test" wake-up message (if it's a display model), and then 'goes dead'...no lights, no beeps, no nothing.

Ahh Ok.....it has never happened to me before, so I wasn't completey sure...


...not that I listen to the TMR or anything
