Programming the Talk Group information for a 2016 Base
The 2016 base modem operates differently than the 2012/Merlin mobile unit. As the
2012/Merlin changes talk groups for d ata and voice, the 2016 requires the radio to be
only programmed with the data talk group. This makes the base TK -x80 radio in to a
stand-alone data radio. No voice is to be used on the base TK -x80 connected to the 2016.
To program the talk group data for a 2016 interface simply add one system and one group
to the radio, and do not define any talk group for data. The figure below illustrates a
typical talk group setup for a 2016 base unit.

In programming the 2012/Merlin mobile data terminal, it was required that you define the
talk group as a data talk group. When programming for a 2016 base unit, data definition
should be turned
off
in both the
F9
and
F10
(
System
and
Group Information)
screens.
Use your cursor to select the talk group and press the
F9 key
. The figure below shows a
typical configuration of the
F9
(
System Data
) screen.
