Paging the LPA-Series receiver
The LPA-Series receiver can be paged with 2-way radios programmed for Quiet Call (CTCSS), Digital Quiet Call
(DCS), 2-Tone Paging, or Selcall paging formats. Each format offers a unique method of paging the LPA receiver.
Refer to the Programming section of this manual for specific instructions on programming your LPA receiver to one
of these selective signaling formats.

Ritron strongly recommends operation of the LPA-Series receiver with one
of the following selective signaling formats enabled.
Paging the LPA-Series receiver with Quiet Call (CTCSS) only:
•
To page the LPA receiver a user simply presses the 2-way radio’s PTT and speaks while on the LPA
channel.
•
Your 2-way radio must be programmed for a channel dedicated to LPA receiver
operation. Only those
radios programmed with the LPA channel will be able to access the loudspeaker.
•
The 2-way radio’s LPA channel and the LPA receiver must be programmed for the same QC code. All
Ritron radios offer 50 different field-programmable QC codes from which to choose.
Paging the LPA-Series receiver with Digital Quiet Call (DCS) only:
•
To page the LPA receiver a user simply presses the 2-way radio’s PTT and speaks while on the LPA
channel.
•
Your 2-way radio must be programmed for a channel dedicated to LPA receiver operation. Only those
radios programmed with the LPA channel will be able to access the loudspeaker.
•
The 2-way radio’s LPA channel and the LPA receiver must be programmed for the same DQC code.
All Ritron radios offer 104 different field-programmable DQC codes from which to choose.
Paging the LPA-Series receiver with 2-Tone Paging:
•
To page the LPA receiver the 2-way radio must first send the correct 2-Tone Paging code. Once
access to the LPA receiver is accomplished, the user simply presses the 2-way radio’s PTT and speaks
while on the LPA channel. After a period of inactivity the LPA receiver
is automatically reset, and will
then require the correct 2-Tone Paging code to re-gain access.
•
Only 2-way radios programmed to send the correct 2-Tone code on the LPA channel can access the
LPA receiver. However, once access is gained, any 2-way radio that operates on the LPA channel can
access the LPA receiver up until the time that the LPA receiver has automatically reset.
•
Can be used in conjunction with QC or DQC for added security. The 2-way radio and the LPA receiver
must be programmed for the same QC or DQC code.
Paging the LPA-Series receiver with Selcall:
•
To page the LPA receiver
the 2-way radio must be programmed to send the correct Selcall code every
time the PTT is pressed. The user simply presses the 2-way radio’s PTT and speaks while on the LPA
channel.
•
Only 2-way radios programmed to send the correct Selcall code on the LPA channel can access the
LPA receiver.
•
Can be used in conjunction with QC or DQC for added security. The 2-way radio and the LPA receiver
must be programmed for the same QC or DQC code
