The  TX4200  contains  a  number  of  built-in 

advanced  signalling  features,  many  of  which 

are  normally  only  available  in  expensive 

commercial communications equipment.

The  following  features  are  included  in  the 

TX4200 at no extra cost.

  Built-in sequential tone signalling system.

  100%  compatible  with  40ms  CCIR  5  tone 

systems.

  Factory  programmed  receiver  Selcall 

Identification number (Selcall Ident).

  User  programmable  4  digit  'Call  To'  Ident 

with dealer option to make 5 digit.

  Display up to 5 digits of callers Selcall Ident.

  Audible warning of incoming call.

  Quiet mode programming on user selected 

channels.

  Mixed  scanning  of  both  quiet  and  open 

channels.

  3  memories  for  user  storage  of  frequently 

called Selcall Idents.

  Base  to  Base,  Base  to  Mobile,  Mobile  to 

Mobile, and Mobile to Base calling.

  External alarm interface socket.

  Remote Paging facility.

While this list of features may seem daunting to 

those who are unfamiliar with them, this section 

has been written to explain these features and 

show  you  how  to  use  them  to  increase  your 

communications  efficiency.  Remember,  your 

TX4200 already has these  features built-in so 

why not use them to your advantage.

Selective Calling (General)

Selective calling (Selcall) is a multiple frequency 

sequential  tone  signalling  system  designed  to 

provide  quiet  transceiver  operation  on  a 

normally busy shared channel.

In it's basic form, the Selcall signal consists of 5 

short  tones  transmitted  in  a  sequence. There 

are 10 different tones to choose from (numbered 

from 0 to 9). By combining any 5 of these tones 

in a sequence, a code is created. The code can 

be identified by the numbers of the tones.

e.g.  Combining  tones  1,  4,  6,  2  and  3  in  that 

order would create the code 14623.

A  receiver which  is  designed  to  use  Selective 

calling  is  programmed  with  it's  own  unique 

code.  Whenever  the  receiver  hears  a  5  tone 

Selcall transmission, it compares the incoming 

code with it's own code. If  the two codes match, 

the radio knows it is being called and sounds an 

alarm to let the operator know.

In addition, the receiver can be programmed to 

listen to a busy channel but not allow any sound 

to  reach  the  speaker  unless  it  receives  it's 

Selcall code. In this way the radio can monitor a 

busy channel without disturbing you, but still let 

you know if you are being called.

Your  radio  also  allows  you  to  transmit  these 

codes in any sequence you desire so that you 

can  call  others  who  are  also  using  a  Selcall 

system.

Tx4200 Selcall Identification Numbe

r

Your TX4200  is  factory  programmed  with  it's 

own Selcall Identification number (Selcall Ident). 

This  Ident  identifies  your  radio  from  others  in 

your area. You will need to make your Selcall 

Ident  known  to  anyone  who  may  need  to  call 

you using Selcall.

Your Selcall Ident

The Selcall Ident for your radio is printed on the 

label affixed to your radio's rear panel. You can 

also  recall  your  Selcall  Ident  directly  from  the 

radio and display it on the LCD as follows:
