in the Ident mode. Idents cannot be entered if 
the radio is in Alpha mode. To toggle between 
Alpha mode and Ident mode, briefly press 
the Monitor key. A high beep indicates Alpha 
mode is selected while a low beep means the 
Ident mode is selected. 

2.  Enter the required Selcall Ident  

as follows:

  (a)  Briefly press the 

F

 key. The right-

hand digit of the Selcall Ident will 
flash.

  (b)  Press the   or   channel keys to 

select the required number in the 
flashing digit position.

 

(c)

  (d)  Repeat steps (b) and (c) to enter 

all 5 digits as required.

3.  Now press and hold the 

CALL

 key to 

send the Ident.

CALL ACKNOWLEDGE

If your Selcall transmission is successful, 
the radio you called should respond with 
a ’call acknowledge‘ signal – usually two 
quick beeps. This will confirm to you that 
the radio you called is now alerting its 
user to your signal.

STORING SELCALL IDENTS

Your TX6200 is fitted with 10 user 
programmable Selcall Ident memories, 
allowing you to store up to 10 frequently 
used Selcall Idents. The memories are 
accessed by pressing the 

CALL

 key then 

pressing the   or   channel keys. Ident 
memories are labelled c0 to c9.

To Store a Selcall Ident in memory

1.   Press the 

CALL

 key to select the ‘CALL 

TO‘ mode. ‘CALL TO’ is displayed 
along with the last sent or received 
Selcall Ident.

2.   Press the   or   channel keys to 

select the Ident memory that you wish 
to programme (locations  c0 to c9).

TIP:

 

If the radio displays letters instead of 

numbers in the Selcall Ident position, your 
radio is in ALPHA mode. To switch back to 
Ident mode, briefly press the Monitor key. A 
low beep should be heard indicating Ident 
mode is now selected

.

3.  With the required memory location 

displayed, enter the Selcall ident as 
follows:

 

(a)  Briefly press the 

F

 key. The right-

hand digit of the Selcall Ident will 
flash.

 

(b)  Press the   or   channel key to 

select the required number in the 
flashing digit position.

 

(c)  Briefly press the 

F

 key again to 

select the next digit position.

 

(d)  Repeat steps (b) and (c) to enter 

all 5 digits as required.

  (e)  Now press and hold the 

F

 key. The 

entire Ident will flash for a few 
seconds then the radio will beep 
as the new Ident is stored.

RECALLING SELCALL IDENTS 
FROM THE MEMORY

1.  Press the 

CALL

 key to select the ‘CALL 

TO’ mode. 

‘CALL TO’

 is displayed 

along with the last sent or received 
Selcall Ident.

2.   Press the   or   channel keys to 

select the Ident memory that you wish 
to recall  (locations c0 to c9).

3.   When the required Selcall memory is 

displayed, press and hold the 

CALL

 

key to send the Ident.

NAMING YOUR SELCALL 
IDENTS

The TX6200 allows you to name each 
Selcall Ident using a 5 character ALPHA 
name. The name is stored in memory 
along with the Ident making it easier to 
identify whose Ident you are recalling 
from the memory. If an incoming Selcall 
matches one of those in your radio’s
