DTMF Encoding

The KG-S86B features dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) encoding. This enables the 

radio to perform a number of useful signaling operations.

Sending a Radio ID

The KG-S86B is capable of automatically sending a radio ID number using DTMF 

functionality. When activated, the radio ID will be sent during a transmission.  When 

the radio ID is transmitted, radios capable of displaying a radio ID will typically show 

the ID number on the display while receiving the transmission.  A radio ID could be 

referred to as an ANI or a PTT ID.
The KG-S86B has three menu options related to configuring the radio ID:  PTT-ID 

(page 46), ID-EDIT (page 45), and ID-DLY (page 45).
To set a radio ID, press [MENU] and use the Channel Knob or the [UP] / [DOWN] 

keys to choose the ID-EDIT menu option (page 45). Press [MENU], and turn the 

Channel Knob or press the [UP] / [DOWN] keys to select the first digit of the desired 

number. Use the [PF1] side key to move to the next character and select the next digit.
