Chapter 12. Automatic Number
Identification
In dispatch environments it's common to have a system in place that will allow radios to
automatically identify themselves to the dispatcher. This is known as Automatic Number
Identification, or sometimes PTT-ID since the radio sends a data burst containing the ID
code at the beginning or end of a transmission.
The Baofeng UV-5R uses DTMF signalling for it's ANI implementation. For details on
what settings to use and questions regarding system interoperability, contact the dispatch
office with your employer.
Procedure 12.1. Setting ANI code
1. Attach your radio to your computer with a programming cable and open up the
Baofeng programming software, see the section called “Computer programming”
for details.
