What is Trunking?
A trunking radio system differs from a conventional radio system in the way it
shares channels between radios
Conventional

A trunking system shares a pool of channels

Allows system to be shared channel friendly since it can still operate with
interference
1.
The request and grant control mechanism is removed from the equation,
allowing for quicker system access time
The repeaters in a Capacity Plus system use a metric or weighting system to determine which channel should be the next rest
channel and therefore the next voice channel. For example, if there are 4 repeaters in a Capacity Plus system and the fourth
repeater happens to be vulnerable to interference then you can set its Preference Level number to a higher value than the other 3
and it will be chosen to be the rest channel less often than others.
If RF channels had the same performance, coverage and resistance to interference there would be no need for this control. But
often this is not the case. Theres no point in granting equal access to the fourth repeater if it has inferior coverage (for example).
Lower Preference Level numbers mean higher preference. Higher numbers mean the channel will be chosen less often as the next
rest/voice channel.
More efficient
Minimizes late entry scenarios for voice calls (Voice Quality of Service)
These slots, like voice slots are programmed into the subscriber
Radio will cycle through the list for revert data transmission.

Systems can have more than one (1) Trunked Control Station

Operation:
1)
Upon power up a radio sends its registration data to an application, this is sent on the Legacy Control
Station (this operates like conventional MOTOTRBO today)
2)
The Trunked Control Station returns the ack to the most current rest slot

IP Switch fails
System planners should design the system to accommodate future users that
may be added
Adding more data radios or shortening the GPS update period could also drive
the need for more revert slots on the system
Plan accordingly!
The number of users and talk patterns should drive the amount of
voice slots required
Will the system add new channels, talk groups in the future?

We will program 1 portable for all the channels referenced and 4 Talk groups, as well
as a few private ids.
They assume that basic programming i.e. radio ID, group ID programming etc.
are understood.
NOTE: Capacity plus uses the IPSC protocol even though it operates in single site only.

You will need to verify that you have turned IP Site Connect on for
both repeaters.
Add CapPlus Private IDs Who do you want to be able to talk to?
Add CapPlus Group IDs Build What Talk Groups do you need access to?
Add Voice Channels in Pool One covers both slots (only 1 entry for each repeater)
Add Data Channels in Pool One for each slot (2 entries for each repeater)
Reference TX Contact
Remove any default Analog or Conventional Digital Channels that you are not
planning to use.
Add CapPlus Group IDs Build What Talk Groups do you need access to?
Add Voice Channels in Pool One covers both slots (only 1 entry for each repeater)
This zone allows programmers to add all the channels that may potentially be
used in the system
Analog
Digital
This becomes a holding place for all channels that dont need to be directly
accessed by the end user
Or via menu
Reasoning: There is no reason for the user to physically access a data revert
Add Data Channels in Pool One for each slot (2 entries for each repeater)
Reference TX Contact
Remove any default Analog or Conventional Digital Channels that you are not planning to
use.

Its easy to program a Capacity Plus radio to talk and listen to a single talk group
When creating RX list ONLY add the single TG that you wish to hear
Add that TG as your Contact Name on the Capacity Plus Personality
ONLY add TG A to Rx

TG A is the contact
name on the Capacity

4 Talk Groups
The Capacity Plus repeater hosting the rest channel will send out a beacon every Beacon Interval (ms). The subscriber units listen
for the beacon and if they dont hear it in the specified interval theyll go thru the Voice List looking for the next rest channel. If a
subscriber hasnt found a rest channel in the Rest Channel Acquisition TOT (min) then it will sound a tone indicating to the user
that it has lost the system.
The intervals for the repeater and subscriber should be set to the same value.
FCC Type 1 compliance may not be an issue for areas outside the
United States. However, the RSSI Threshold (dBm) is used in
Capacity Plus systems to determine if a repeater is available to
become the next rest channel or not.
For example, if the RSSI Threshold (dBm) is set to -115 for repeater
1 in a 4 repeater Capacity Plus system and the rest channel is
currently on repeater 2. Repeater 1 may have RF interference
(analog or digital) above that threshold at -110dBm then repeater 1
channel will be considered busy and it will take itself out of
contention to become the next rest channel and the next rest
channel would end up being assigned to repeater 2, 3 or 4.
MOTOTRBO supports message trunking by keeping a channel reserved for the duration of hang
time after a transmitting radio has de-keyed the microphone. During the hang time, only the
members of the ongoing call can start a transmission.
The advantage is that it provides guaranteed access to the channel for the duration of a call.
The disadvantage is that the channel remains unused during the hang times.
To improve channel utilization, change the call hang time in the repeater.
Set to Zero (0) - system acts as if the channel is allocated for only one transmission
(Transmission Trunking)
Reduce call hang time from the default value - may improve overall call throughput if there
are many members in a group, and they are replying instantly to the group call
Increase call hang time from the default value if the group members are not replying
instantly to the communication and the channel still needs to be reserved, to prevent group
call participants from switching to other group calls or loosing the channel when the system
may becomes busy with other calls
applies to clear, Basic Privacy, and Enhanced Privacy transmissions in both repeater mode
and direct mode
transparent to server applications
Radios sends compressed data messages only if the feature is enabled, but they process
compressed data messages even if the feature is disabled. A legacy MOTOTRBO radio
cannot receive compressed data messages.
MOTOTRBO radio sends one (in repeater mode) or two (in talkaround mode) preambles for
increasing the battery life.
If there are legacy radios (i.e. release 1.4 or earlier) in the system, all the radios in the
system should be configured to send battery saver preambles.
If there is more than one calls active in a Capacity Plus system, then a radio joins its
most preferred call in the following conditions:
A radio powers on, or returns from a fade when all trunked channels are not
busy.
All Call
Call priority is enforced by a radio only while it is entering a call. Once the
radio joins a call, it will not look for any other high-priority call in the system
(except an All Call).
