The All Active mode enables all connected control heads attached to the radio to operate concurrently with
each other. When you activate a feature on one control head, the rest of the control heads have the same

Upon power-up, if a control head of a different type is connected to the radio, the display of all the
attached control heads shows the FATAL error CH mismatch.
When you change the volume on one control head, the rest of the active control heads display the
volume bar. All active control heads display the alias/ID number of the control head that changed the
volume.
