Administrator Programming Instructions for the RPV599 

 
The  RPV599  can  be  programmed  by  a  PC  using  the  optional  PC  software 
and  cable  available  from  Falcon  Wireless.    All  frequencies  in  the  148-174 
MHz band, both 25 kHz standard and 12.5 kHz narrow band channels can be 
programmed. 
 
The  RPV599  has  the  ability  to  operate  on  up  to  99  channels  with  CTCSS 
(Continuous  Coded  Tone  Squelch)  and  Digital  Coded  Tone  Squelch) 
individually  programmable  for  the  receive  and  transmit  frequencies  of  each 
channel.  Both  DTMF  (Dual  Tone  Multi  Frequency)  and  2-tone  sequential 
coding  are  programmable  for  both  receive  and  transmit  functions.    ANI 
(Automatic  Number  Identification)  is  available  in  a  DTMF  format  as  well  as 
automatic  transponding  capability.  Priority  scanning  is  a  standard  feature  of 
the RPV599. 
 
In  an  emergency  situation,  public safety communications administrators can 
program  the  RPV599 for interoperable communications with no requirement 
for PC software, cables, special tools or any internal adjustments. 
 
Public safety users can also program the RPV599 for frequencies in the 136-
148  MHz  for  coordination  with  amateur  radio  storm  spotters  who  operate  in 
the  145  MHz  range.    Operation  on  frequencies  below  148  MHz  is restricted 
to public safety users for emergency communications use at power levels not 
exceeding 2 watts.  Instructions for programming frequencies in the 136-148 
MHz band are available only by calling Falcon Direct at (205) 854-2611.  This 
capability is not available to non-public safety users. 
 
Programming,  either  by  computer  or  by  keypad  in  emergency  situations  is 
restricted to those who have administrative responsibility for a licensed public 
safety  radio  system  and  who  have  the  knowledge  and  training  required  to 
perform such tasks.
