For example, to hear messages from either the Worldwide or North America talkgroup without scanning or switching channels, you create a Group List containing both Talkgroups, and assign that Group List to a physical channel on your radio. The Group List feature in vehicular and handheld radios allows the radio to monitor more than one talkgroup on a given channel position, without having to use scan. When a channel position is configured for Roaming, it cannot be configured for scanning (these features are mutually-exclusive). Each list can contain 15 or more repeaters sites. One Roam List is created for each network talkgroup. The radio then remains on the identified repeater and gives the user a go-ahead tone. Under Active, when the user presses their push-to-talk (PTT) button, the radio will sequentially transmit a short “wake-up” message (30-60 milliseconds) to each repeater in the Roam List until it finds a repeater that meets the signal level threshold. In addition to passive mode, “active” roaming mode can also be enabled.

The user will then transmit and receive on the channel selected by the roaming feature. When the signal weakens to a certain threshold level, the radio begins to step through a pre-programmed list of other repeaters (a Roam List) until it finds one that meets or exceeds the signal threshold. In its default (or “passive”) mode, the radio constantly measures a repeater’s signal strength when activity is present, or through short polling “bursts” transmitted by the repeater. The roaming feature automatically steers the radio to a different repeater site if the current site’s signal strength drops below a certain threshold to provide seamless coverage. Are there other talkgroups available for me to use? ◆ I’ve heard traffic on a DMR of Anarchy repeater using a talkgroup not listed on the website.◆ Sometimes I see the green light (indicating channel activity) on my radio but I don’t hear anything.◆ What does the term “off-network” mean?.◆ Are there any special settings I need to use on my radio to make it work with DMR of Anarchy?.◆ Where can I get a codeplug containing the DMR of Anarchy repeaters and talkgroups for my radio?.◆ What’s the difference between cBridge and Brandmeister, and why did you choose cBridge?.◆ Are the Brandmeister talkgroups available on the DMR of Anarchy network?.◆ I’d like to carry the 5150 talkgroup on my repeater, cBridge or other network.◆ What’s the difference between Group Call and Private Call?.

◆ How do the non-voice modes (GPS, text messaging, call alert, etc) work, and are they supported on the DMR of Anarchy network?.◆ Can all DMR repeaters be connected to the network?.
