ANI ENCODING (Analog Mode Only)
ANI encoding (Automatic Numeric Identification), if enabled, transmits
a sequence of DTMF tones each time you press the PTT switch. You
will hear a sidetone. Your dealer can program the ANI number to be
sent.
TIME-OUT TIMER
The transmit Time-Out Timer limits the duration of calls and guards
against accidentally locking on the transmitter and tying up the radio
system. Your dealer can program the duration of the Time-Out Timer
(15–225 seconds, or disabled).
BUSY CHANNEL
If the radio has been programmed for Busy Channel operation, it will
operate in one of the following Modes:
•
Busy Channel Indication
•
Busy Channel Lockout
BUSY CHANNEL INDICATION
The yellow Busy Channel Indicator glows if there is carrier activity on
the selected channel. If the selected channel is a Channel Guard
channel and the proper Channel Guard value is not detected, the Busy
Channel Indicator remains on for the duration of the carrier activity and
no message is heard. During Scan and Priority Scan operation, the
Busy Channel Indicator glows when activity is detected on any channel
on the Scan List.
When scanning or priority scanning Channel Guard channels and
activity has been detected, the Busy Channel Indicator glows for the
time period necessary to determine if the proper Channel Guard value
has been received. This will cause the Busy Channel Indicator to flash
at various rates.
