CONVENTIONAL FEATURES
39
TX POWER -
Selects the desired power output level.
Rotate the Select switch to scroll through the
following choices. When the desired setting is
displayed, store it by pressing the Select switch.
•
POWER High - High transmit power
•
POWER Low - Low transmit power
•
POWER SW - Switchable power selectable by
the High/Low power switch. This choice is not
available if that switch is not programmed.
TX TIMER -
Enables or disables the time-out timer
on the current channel. Rotate the Select switch to
toggle between the on and off mode, and when the
desired setting is displayed, store it by pressing the
Select switch.
Channel Alias* -
Programs the alias for the channel.
Up to ten characters from A-Z and 0-9 and spaces can
be entered. Press Select switch once to display the
current alias and then press it again or rotate it to
program a new alias. Rotate the Select switch to
display the desired character and then press it to move
to the next position. The number is stored after the
Select switch is pressed with the last position selected.
NOTE: The next two parameters are programmed only
if the radio is programmed for encryption.
Strapping* -
Selects the encryption strapping mode
for the channel as Clear, Secure, or Switched.
Key Select* -
Selects the encryption key for the
channel if applicable. The key storage location of 0-15
(PID) or 1-16 (SLN) is selected (see Section 11.2.3). If
no keys are programmed, “No Keys” is displayed.
CHAN SPACE (Analog Only) -
Selects either wide
or narrow band channel spacing on analog channels
only. Rotate the Select switch to toggle between
“WIDE” and “NARROW”, and when the desired
setting is displayed, store it by pressing the Select
switch.
NOTE: The channel spacing is not set with P25 chan-
nels because it is always narrow, and the squelch
cannot be changed because the setting is critical for
proper receiver operation.
SQ ADJUST (Analog Only) -
Changes the preset
squelch setting on that channel. The default setting is
“0” and values of –7 to +7 can be selected. Increasing
this setting 7 causes the squelch to open
sooner so that weaker signals can be received, and
decreasing it toward –7 causes the opposite to occur.
TG ID (P25 Only) -
Selects the talk group for the
selected channel. Rotate the Select switch to display
the alias of each preprogrammed talk group and then
press it to store the desired talk group.
Transmit Type (P25 Mixed Mode Only) -
If the
selected channel is a mixed mode, analog and P25
channel, this selects the transmit type. Either Analog
or Digital (P25) can be selected. This then determines
if a Tx Code or Tx NAC is programmed above.
