OTHER OPERATIONAL FEATURES
The BK Radio D Series is based on a microprocessor core that allows
extra features and operational characteristics to be programmed into
the radio. Your dealer can help define the best operational settings for
your system and program them into the radio.
SCAN DELAY
Scan delay lets the radio receive a response to a
transmission before scanning the other channels
for activity. If you find that your scanner is
restarting before message replies are received,
you can ask your dealer to increase the scan
delay time (0–7.5 seconds).
This timer is also used to allow for Talkback
Scan, Mixed Mode Talkback, and Unit-To-Unit
Callback.
HI/LO POWER
Each channel in the radio can be individually
programmed to always transmit in Low-Power
Mode, regardless of the position of the radio's
top switch (or keypad
[FCN]
menu setting). If
the programming for the channel allows high-
power transmissions, the power level can be
selected with a top switch or the keypad menu.
DTMF ENCODING (Analog Mode Only)
Keypad-equipped radios can be programmed to
enable DTMF (Dual Tone Multiple Frequency)
encoding. To send DTMF tones (similar to the
tones used by a standard push-button telephone):
1.
P
RESS AND HOLD
the PTT switch.
2.
P
RESS ANY OF THE KEYS
on the keypad.
You will hear a sidetone.
The
FCN
,
PRI
,
ENT
, and
CLR
keys respond as
DTMF tones A, B, C, and D, respectively.
