  1. Retevis – RT90
    =============

    Has anyone managed to successfully select a User Activated Talk Group form the hand-microphone. With DRM-Marc, the “recommendation” is to program into the sets only Static Talk Groups and have the user select dynamic Talk Groups using User Activation?

    To date, I have not been able to find anything that describes how to do it. Questions;-

    * Can dynamic Talk Group be activated from the microphone?
    * If it can’t – is this shortcoming going to be addressed in a firmware update?
