Example
To set the call sign to “WNCR414”, first enter into system programming on the 15P and
work your way down to the station ID prompt. Enable the Station ID by entering a one and
pressing ENTER. The display will either go blank at this point, if there is no prior ID string
in memory, or it will display the last six characters of the last ID string anyone has
programmed into the Model 15P. To enter a new ID, you simply start keying in the two-digit
combinations for each character. As the second digit of each pair is entered, the encoder will
display the proper letter or number for that entry. The characters will start on the right end of
the display and move to the left as more entries are made. This will continue until you finish
entering the call sign or all ten character positions are filled. Press ENTER to accept the call
sign entered. The following example shows the series of two-digit numbers that would be
entered for a typical seven-digit call sign.
ID Characters

ENTER
The Model 15P does not erase the existing ID string just because you disable the Station ID
feature, and when you re-enable the Station ID, the last call sign entered will still be there.
However, as soon as you enter a single new character into the ID slot, the encoder overwrites
the old string with the new one. To accept the old ID without any changes, you simply press
the ENTER key and return to the “diGt=0” prompt.
