Tactical Public Safety Feature |
(Learning and Programming Radio Features) |

The Tactical Public Safety
(TPS) feature provides the ability for an Incident Commander to automatically
monitor and log Conventional
radio communications by radio IDs at the scene of an incident. In conjunction
with analog voice, TPS signaling (see
Incident Signaling Type) allows
digital packet data Trunking Signaling Blocks (TSBKs) containing the radio
IDs to be transmitted upon a PTT button
press. These TPS data packets can be sent on the leading edge and / or
the trailing edge of the transmission for both normal calls (see Radio
Wide, TPS PTT Transmission) and Emergency Mode calls (see Radio
Wide, TPS Emergency PTT Transmission).
An RF modem, connected to a laptop, monitors radio communications and
decodes the TPS TSBKs (including Conventional Alarm TSBKs), passing the
radio IDs to a laptop application that can create automatic communications
logs which can later be used when generating incident reports (see
also the Personnel Accountability
Keystone Concept).
The following Tactical Public
Safety fields became available on Portable radios such as the APX™ 7000XE in
CPS release R09.00.00.
These fields are also available for the APX™ 7500 Mobile
radio in CPS release R11.01.00
