Patch Call

The act of routing a voice call from one group or conventional channel to other groups and/or dispatch console private calls or conventional channels. The patch operation is done through a dispatch console. For trunking talkgroups, the patch can be either regrouping (talkgroups in the patch are regrouped into a common supergroup) or non-regrouped (all talkgroups are assigned a separate RF resource) or a combination of both. The "regroupable" capability is selectable on a talkgroup basis.
