Why doesn’t the RadioPro Talk app show Zones?

Categories: RadioPro, RadioPro Talk

For Motorola MOTOTRBO systems, the RadioPro Talk app does not display zone names.

Instead, RadioPro Talk presents a single list of all available channels. Users can still select (channel steer) to any channel that is marked as visible in the system configuration.

Channel visibility is controlled in the IP Gateway Configuration Utility (ICU).


ICU Configuration Example

This screenshot shows the ICU (IP Gateway Configuration Utility). In this example, the Zone and Channel names are left as the default (“Zone #” and “Channel #”), and all Zones and Channels are marked as visible.

RadioPro Talk View

In the RadioPro Talk app (iOS and Android), tapping the channel name displays a list of all visible channels across all visible zones.

Why Zones Aren’t Shown

RadioPro Talk is designed to be simple and easy to use, especially for mobile users.

Showing zones would add extra steps and complexity, so the app combines everything into a single channel list.


How to Identify Zones (If Needed)

If you need to distinguish channels by zone, you can:

  • Edit Channel Aliases in the ICU
  • Include the zone name in the channel name
    • Example: Zone 1 – Dispatch, Zone 2 – Tac 1

More Advanced Zone Control

Zone-based organization is fully available in:

  • RadioPro Dispatch
  • RadioPro Solo

These applications provide more detailed control and are better suited for desktop or advanced users.
