16.4 Signaling
(Optional Signaling Decode
Condition)
Signaling (Decode) can be used to configure how to
decode the Optional Signaling. Signaling (Decode) can
be configured for each zone.
16.4.1 Conventional Group
If the decoded Optional Signaling matches and the
configured conditions are satisfied, the transceiver
unmutes, emits the Call Alert tone, opens the Call Alert
display and transponds.
Once Optional Signaling matches, the signaling status
remains matched until it is reset.
Conditions for decoding the Optional Signaling can be
configured by using KPG-101D. The transceiver
functions in the following way.
Table 16-5 Conditions for Decoding and Operation
„ Configuration using KPG-101D
• Configuring the Signaling (Decode) (Refer to
FPRG 6.2.5 Optional Signaling Decode Condition.)
16.4.2 Trunking System
(TK-3173 only)
The LTR ID must be matched in Trunking System.
Therefore, the condition for decoding in Trunking System
is LTR ID Decode only.
If the decoded Optional Signaling matches, the
transceiver emits the Call Alert tone, opens the Call Alert
display and transponds.
Once Optional Signaling matches, the signaling status
remains matched until it is reset.
16.5 Monitor
Monitor can be used to unmute and enter receive mode.
The operation of Monitor varies between Conventional
Group and Trunking System.
Monitor is used to check channel status before
transmitting in order to communicate without interfering
with other parties.
Press the
Monitor or Monitor Momentary key to use this
function.

Transceiver Operation
z Monitor Key
1.
Press the Monitor key while Monitor is
disabled.
The “ ” icon appears.
If the QT/DQT Decode is configured for the
current channel, a user can hear the received
audio when the transceiver receives a signal
and the QT/DQT signaling is inactive.
2. Press the Monitor key while Monitor is
enabled.
The “ ” icon disappears.
If the QT/DQT is configured for the current
channel, the transceiver returns to Signaling
Squelch.
z Monitor Momentary Key
1.
Press the Monitor Momentary key.
The “ ” appears on the display while the
Monitor Momentary key is pressed.
Condition Operation
Carrier Decode
The transceiver decodes the Optional
Signaling regardless of the QT/DQT
status if a carrier is detected.
QT/DQT Decode
Optional Signaling decodes only when
QT/DQT matches.
