Site Selectable Alerts Feature

(Learning and Programming Radio Features)

Site Selectable Alerts (SSAs) are broadcast to all radios at a Trunking Dispatch site, notifying radio-users when there is a special or hazardous situation (for example, blasting) that they need to be aware of. When the radio receives an SSA that has been CPS-defined in its current Site Selectable Alert List, the radio sounds the recurring Voice Announcement associated with the SSA and displays its Alert Alias via intelligent lighting, if enabled (see also Disable Critical Notification).

The Voice Announcement Utilities provide the means for converting and importing the audio files used by Site Selectable Alerts.

SSAs may occur when receiving a voice transmission. When mixing SSA’s with received voice audio, SSA alerts are reduced in volume to ensure that the voice message is heard clearly. Because of this, it is important that the SSA audio files (see Voice Announcement) are created with clear loud audio to ensure they can heard clearly when played at reduced levels.
