RELM/BK Radio
OTHER OPERATIONAL FEATURES
The BK Radio G Series radio is based on a microprocessor core that
allows extra features and operational characteristics to be programmed
into the radio. Your dealer can help define the best operational settings
for your system and program them into the radio.
SCAN DELAY
Scan delay lets the radio receive a response to a transmission before
scanning the other channels for activity. If you find that your scanner is
restarting before message replies are received, you can ask your dealer
to increase the scan delay time (0-7.5 seconds).
This timer is also used to allow for Talkback Scan.
HI/LO POWER
Each channel in the radio can be individually programmed to always
transmit in low-power mode, regardless of the radio’s
[LPW]
button
(or microphone keypad
[FCN]
menu setting). If the programming for
the channel allows high-power transmissions, the power level can be
selected with the
[LPW]
button or the keypad
[FCN]
menu.
DTMF ENCODING (Analog Mode Only)
Radios with keypad-equipped microphones can be programmed to
enable DTMF (Dual Tone Multiple Frequency) encoding. To send DTMF
tones (similar to the tones used by a standard push-button telephone):
Press and hold the PTT switch.
1.
Press any of the keys on the microphone’s keypad.
2.
You will hear a sidetone.
The FCN, PRI, ENT, and CLR keys respond as DTMF tones A, B, C, and
D, respectively.
ANI ENCODING (Analog Mode Only)
ANI encoding (Automatic Number Identification), if enabled, transmits a
sequence of DTMF tones each time you press the
PTT
switch. You will
hear a sidetone. Your dealer can program the ANI number to be sent.
