Placing a TransAdapt, Transcall or Selcall
The RT7000 is capable of supporting the following selective call systems:
TransAdapt (TA), Selcall (SC) and Transcall (TC). Selcall is the basic, single-
channel calling system. Transcall is a more advanced system that determines
the best channel in a scan group for communications. TransAdapt is a faster
system that determines if the selected channel is acceptable for voice-quality
communications, not necessarily the best.
Call Setup
Before you initiate a call, turn on the appropriate option as follows:
1. Turn the
FUNCTION
knob until the correct icon flashes (
TCSC
or
TA
).
2. Press
STATUS
to turn the option
ON
.
You can only select one call system at a time; you cannot turn the TCSC
option on until the TA option is off.
Before initiating TCSC operations, you must assign the RT7000 a call code
(001 to 225). This is the call code that other stations use to contact your
transceiver.
