INTRODUCTION
The PCS™ Standard/Scan/DTMF portable radios
are lightweight, full-featured radios that provide reliable
two-way communications. The PCS comes in 2-, 8-, and
16-channel versions. The SCAN function exists on the 8-
and 16-channel radios and allows monitoring of all
channels. Any channel may be scanned with or without a
priority level. One channel can be programmed for
Priority 1 (P1) and another for Priority 2 (P2), with any or
all remaining channels programmed as non-priority
channels. It also allows HOME channel selection or
Emergency mode transmission.
The User (also known as Universal) Device
Connector (UDC), located on the side of the radio,
provides connections for external audio accessories.
This connector also allows the radio system personnel to
connect programming equipment and program the per-
channel and overall radio features. Consult the radio
system personnel to determine the programmed features
of your radio. Features that are programmable on a per-
channel basis include:
•
Receive Frequency
•
Transmit Frequency
•
High/Low Transmit Power
•
Channel Busy Lock-Out
•
Squelch Tail Elimination (STE)
