The User determines which TGIDs’ messages are to be stored. All stored messages are time and date stamped and stored in non- volatile memory.  They can easily be retrieved by pressing the playback key button which plays stored messages on a last in/first out basis or by using the pager’s menu to selectively find the time and day the message was received. Message memory is very large and if it nears getting full it will automatically purge the oldest read/unread messages to make room for new incoming messages.

The pager will decode the TGID and emit an alert tone (user programmable) while it stores the associated message on the assigned Traffic Channel. At the end of the alert tone duration (user programmable) the pager will play the stored voice message from the beginning.

Although this is a good way to initially test the G2/G3/G4/G5, in the final configuration the System will be programmed to “Force TGIDS to Critical Sites” thereby allowing the Dispatcher or a back-up Portable to send messages.

  • If you know P25 Service will be available within the next 18 months.
  • If I want to continue to use the existing analog 2 tone network, but want to listen to select TGIDs on the P25 System
  • If your Mutual Aid relationships have migrated from analog to digital or they have stayed analog while you migrated to digital. If you travel frequently and want to listen of local/regional systems
  • If you migrated to digital, but want to monitor analog transmissions (NOAA, etc.)

The Dispatching Console, 2-way portable or Mobile sends the appropriate TGID to the G-Series P25 Voice Pager. The G2/G3/G5/G5 is monitoring the Control Channel and upon detection of a programmed TGID, it will go to the assigned Traffic Channel for the voice message.

  1. Does this unit require any changes to the communications center equipment?
  2. Does the dispatcher have to send an alert call the same way they would ping a portable radio?
  3. Using TGIDs is problematic for my application, are there other methods?
  4. Do the G-Series Voice Pagers support P25 Phase I and Phase II?
