To remove a key cap, insert a tool with a sharp tip
in the slot on the bottom of the cap and carefully pry
against the front panel to release the cap.
1.5.3 SYSTEMS, CHANNELS, AND ZONES
A zone and channel are selected to place and
receive calls. The following describes the relationship
between systems, channels, and zones.
Systems
A system as used with this transceiver is a collec-
tion of channels (talk groups) belonging to the same
repeater site. A system defines all the parameters and
protocol definitions required to access a site. Up to
1 conventional system and 15 SmartNet/SmartZone
systems can be programmed (16 total). Systems are
used for programming purposes only and are not
selectable by the user.
Channels
A channel selects a radio channel or talk group in
a system as follows:
Conventional Mode -
A channel selects a specific
radio channel, Call Guard (CTCSS/DCS) squelch
coding, and other parameters unique to that channel.
SmartNet/SmartZone Mode -
A channel selects a
specific talk group, announcement group, emergency
group, and other parameters unique to that channel.
As previously described, a maximum of up to 256
channels can be programmed with the preceding
modes. The conventional system can be programmed
with up to 256 channels, and each SmartNet/Smart-
Zone system can be programmed with up to 256 talk
groups (channels).
Therefore it is theoretically possible to program
any combination of these systems that produces up to
256 total channels. However, the maximum number
may be limited by the available memory. For example,
since more memory is required to program a SmartNet
system than a conventional system, the total number of
channels decreases as the number of SmartNet systems
increases. The programming software displays a bar
graph which shows the amount of available memory
space that is used by the current data. Refer to Section
3.1.10 for more information.
