System Selection
Rotate the CONTROL KNOB to the desired
system as indicated in the display. A stop-plate
may be placed under the knob which will limit the
maximum positions to less than sixteen (16).
Group/Channel Selection
After the desired system is selected with the
CONTROL KNOB, press and release STEP to
select the next trunked group or conventional
channel programmed into the radio as indicated
in the display. To select the previous group or
channel, press and release 2nd and then press
STEP. Holding down STEP will cause the radio to
automatically scroll through the group/channel
list.
Upon reaching an end of the group/channel
list, the radio may be programmed to stop selec-
tion or wrap around (go from one end to the other).
Groups or channels may also be selected by
entering the group/channel number from the nu-
meric keypad and then pressing STEP. If a number
out of the programmed range is entered,
"RANGE" will be displayed.
VOICE MODES
Each system (trunked or conventional) in the
radio is programmed for either Aegis or Voice
Guard communications. Aegis programmed sys-
tems have three (3) different voice modes: clear,
digital and private. Voice Guard systems have two
(2) voice modes: clear and private. The voice
modes are programmed on a per-group basis
within each trunked system and on a per-channel
basis within each conventional system. A radio
must be equipped with the encrypt/decrypt option
before it will operate in Aegis private or Voice
Guard modes.
Clear Modes
Aegis clear and Voice Guard clear modes are
identical voice modes in which the radio transmits
and receives only clear (analog) voice signals.
These analog signals are non-digitized and non-
encrypted. Clear mode transmissions can be eas-
ily monitored by unauthorized persons. Groups
and channels programmed for clear operation
cannot transmit or receive Aegis digital or private
messages.
