KNG P150 Owner’s Manual 14
If the RTX channel’s Digital Squelch Mode is set to ‘normal’, the radio
performs as when the Squelch Mode is ‘selective’, except all individual
calls will be received when the incoming NAC matches the channel’s
programmed receive NAC, not just individual calls addressed to the
unit. Individual calls not addressed to the unit will be indistinguishable
from group calls. Only the channel label will be displayed, not the ID
of the calling unit.
If Unit-To-Unit Mode is entered when the RTX channel is programmed
for analog-only transmissions, pressing PTT will cause the radio to
beep until PTT is released.
The user must select a channel capable
of digital transmissions before placing a Unit-To-Unit call
. If the
RTX channel is programmed for Mixed Mode transmit, transmissions
will be made as digital Unit-To-Unit calls while the radio is in Unit-To-
Unit Mode, regardless of the position of the ‘TX Digital’ switch.
INITIATING A UNIT-TO-UNIT CALL
To initiate a Unit-To-Unit call, press the
U2U
button to enter Unit-To-
Unit Mode. The label of the last active (called or received) ID will
appear on the display.
If the last active ID was a Call List ID, its label will be displayed along
with the phone icon, otherwise the numeric ID will be displayed along
with the phone icon. If a label is displayed, press and hold
[#]
to view
the corresponding numeric ID.
To place a call to the displayed unit, press PTT. To choose another
unit, use the keypad to enter the desired call list entry (0 - 9), or press
down arrow repeatedly to cycle through all call list entries, or press
[#]
to manually key in a new ID (up to 7 digits). To re-select the ‘last
active’ ID, press the
U2U
button. Once the new unit ID is selected or
entered, press PTT to place the call.
To exit Unit-To-Unit Mode, press and hold the U2U
button.
