5.14 SINGLE TONE ENCODER
This feature is not available with the 5300
mobile. It is available with the 5100 portable only.
5.15 PROJECT 25 MODE FEATURES
NOTE: The following features are unique to conven-
tional P25 channels.
5.15.1 UNIT ID CODE
Each radio that operates on Project 25 (digital)
channels is programmed with an eight-digit unit ID.
This ID is unique for each radio and can be any
number from 1-16,777,216. When power is turned on
with a Project 25 channel selected, this ID is briefly
displayed.
5.15.2 GROUP ID CODE
Each Project 25 channel is programmed with a
group ID that determines which group of mobiles will
receive the call. A call is received on a channel if a
selected or scanned channel is programmed with that
ID and the correct NAC is detected (see following).
Group IDs can be any number from 0-65,535. Group
ID detect can be disabled by the Normal/Selective
squelch function described in Section 5.5 and the
Monitor Mode described in Section 5.3.
5.15.3 NETWORK ACCESS CODE (NAC)
Project 25 conventional channels also use a NAC
(Network Access Code) to control which calls are
received on a channel. The NAC can be 0-4095, and
each transmit and receive channel can be programmed
for a different code. Other operation, such as moni-
toring before transmitting, is similar to that of analog
channels. NAC (and group ID) detect can be disabled
by the monitor mode described in Section 5.3.
5.15.4 P25 GROUP CALLS
General
P25 Group calls are placed by simply selecting
the channel programmed for the desired group, moni-
toring the channel if required, and transmitting. When
a P25 group call is received, the alias (or frequency) of
the selected channel is displayed. The radio can be
programmed so that the following are also displayed
for 0.5-7.0 seconds or continuously during the call.
P25 PTT ID -
The unit ID of the mobile placing
the call is displayed.
P25 Talk Group -
The alias of the talk group on
which the call is being received is displayed.
User Group ID* -
If the group ID of the call
being received is included in a preprogrammed
User Group ID list, the alias programmed in that
list for that group is displayed.
Changing Talk Group Assigned To a Channel
If the
TG SEL
option switch is programmed, the
talk group assigned to a channel can be changed by the
user. The new talk group continues to be assigned to
the channel until it is manually changed again (cycling
power or selecting another channel does not reselect a
default talk group). Change the talk group assigned to
a channel as follows:
1. Select the channel to be changed and then press the
TG SEL
option switch.
2. Rotate the Select switch to display the talk group to
be assigned to that channel. Talk groups are indi-
cated by a unique identification in the alphanumeric
display.
3. To select that talk group and return to normal oper-
ation, press the
TG SEL
switch again or press the
Select switch. If talk group selection has been
disabled on the channel by programming, the talk
group does not change, “NO LIST” is displayed,
and a tone sounds.
5.15.5 P25 UNIT CALLS
Unit calls (also called Individual Calls) can be
placed to a specific radio on Project 25 channels If the
CALL
option switch is programmed. Only the indi-
vidual ID of the target radio is sent (a talk group ID is
not sent). The mobiles that can be called are prepro-
grammed in the Unit Call list.
To receive a unit call, the RF channel of the call
must be selected or scanned and the correct NAC and
unit ID must be detected. The ID of the calling radio is
*
This feature requires firmware 1.24.1/2.2.1/3.2.1 or
later and PCConfigure 1.22.0 or later.
