The typical dual-radio system contains two mobile radios, a W3 HHCH, two speakers, and
associated cabling (see
One radio is designated the Primary Radio, while the other radio is designated the Auxiliary Radio.
Only one radio is accessible from the control head at any one time. The accessible radio is referred
to as the Selected Radio, while the other radio is referred to as the Unselected Radio. The control-
