MDC 1200 SYSTEM OPERATION
■
MDC 1200 system operation
The MDC 1200 signaling system enhances your transceiver’s
capabilities. You can receive or transmit PTT ID and Emer-
gency calls. You can also receive Radio Check, Stun, and
Revive calls.
An additional feature of the MDC 1200 system included in
Icom transceivers is called aliasing. Each transceiver on the
system has a unique ID number. Aliasing is a substitute for
this ID number and you can give an alphanumeric name for
each station ID. In transmit, you can use this alias to select a
transceiver to call. In receive, the alias of the calling station
is displayed instead of the ID.
Please confirm that your dealer has set one of the program-
mable keys for MDC 1200 system operation. See page 5 for
more information about the programmable function keys.
The display illustration is for the Simple type and 10-key type
transceivers.
