Using the Programming Mode
Note
This section provides concise instructions for using the PROG mode. If you need
detailed instructions, refer to Part II of this manual – Manual Programming.
The Programming (PROG) mode is used to program the parameters needed by your radio set:
•
Language – the language used on the MICOM-3 display. The default language is English,
however you also select French or Spanish.
•
Radio parameters – the parameters for communication in your environment and in the radio nets
you use most of the time. Some of these parameters are stored as
channels
.
•
ALE parameters – the parameters needed to use the ALE function. Some of these parameters are
stored as
nets
.
You can also use the PROG mode to program the parameters needed by the optional vocoder or by
VP-116 voice privacy unit, when used by your radio set. To find details on the selections available to
you on the PROG menu, use Figure
6
(page 79) and Figure
7
(page
80
).
Note that MICOM-3 lets you change the currently-used parameters on-line, as required in any
particular situation. When you select another channel or net, the changes are discarded and the
programmed values are used again.
Note
The Programming mode is accessible only if the radio is not locked. See the
Locking the Radio section on page 32.
