Monitor

 

Codes

 

When

 

the

 

MSAT

G2

 

is

 

idle

 

in

 

PTT

 

mode,

 

it

 

can

 

be

 

programmed

 

to

 

selectively

 

scan

 

the

 

unit’s

 

programmed

 

talkgoups.

 

If

 

the

 

unit

 

is

 

actively

 

engaged

 

on

 

a

 

talkgroup,

 

scanning

 

is

 

disengaged

 

and

 

will

 

not

 

interrupt

 

that

 

talkgroup.

  

The

 

radio

 

must

 

be

 

at

 

“rest”

 

for

 

scanning

 

to

 

occur.

  

A

 

scanning

 

code

 

(LightSquared

 

calls

 

it

 

a

 

“monitor

 

code”)

 

will

 

pull

 

the

 

radio

 

off

 

the

 

talkgroup

 

to

 

which

 

it

 

is

 

tuned

 

for

 

as

 

long

 

as

 

the

 

scanned

 

talkgroup

 

remains

 

up

 

and

 

on

 

the

 

air.

  

Once

 

the

 

talkgroup

 

drops

 

off,

 

the

 

radio

 

reverts

 

to

 

the

 

talkgroup

 

on

 

which

 

it

 

was

 

sitting

 

(tuned),

 

and

 

scanning

 

resumes.

  

These

 

scanning

 

codes

 

cannot

 

be

 

user

 

programmed.

  

They

 

must

 

be

 

downloaded

 

to

 

the

 

radio

 

from

 

the

 

satellite

 

network.

 

All

 

talkgoups

 

are

 

downloaded

 

with

 

a

 

monitor

 

code;

 

this

 

code

 

determines

 

whether

 

a

 

talkgoup’s

 

radio

 

traffic

 

will

 

be

 

picked

 

up

 

by

 

the

 

MSAT

G2’s

 

scan

 

function.

   

 

Monitor

 

Code

 

“0”

 

(LOW):

  

LightSquared

 

downloads

 

all

 

talkgroups

 

with

 

Monitor

 

Code

 

“0”

 

unless

 

otherwise

 

requested.

  

Any

 

talkgroup

 

with

 

Monitor

 

Code

 

”0”

  

assigned

 

to

 

it

 

will

 

only

 

hear

 

that

 

talkgroup

 

when

 

the

 

radio

 

is

 

tuned

 

to

 

that

 

talkgroup.

  

 

Monitor

 

Code

 

“1”

 

(MEDIUM)

 

and

 

Monitor

 

Code

 

“3”

 

(HIGH):

 

Both

 

of

 

these

 

Monitor

 

Code

 

levels

 

will

 

prompt

 

the

 

radio

 

to

 

constantly

 

scan

 

while

 

at

 

rest

 

for

 

any

 

talkgroups

 

with

 

these

 

Monitor

 

Codes

 

assigned

 

to

 

them.

  

Whichever

 

scanned

 

talkgroup

 

comes

 

up

 

on

 

the

 

air

 

first

 

will

 

engage

 

the

 

radio,

 

disable

 

any

 

further

 

scanning,

 

and

 

keep

 

the

 

radio

 

engaged

 

on

 

that

 

talkgroup

 

until

 

the

 

talkgroup

 

drops

 

off

 

the

 

network,

 

at

 

which

 

time

 

scanning

 

will

 

continue.

  

The

 

difference

 

between

 

Monitor

 

Codes

 

“1”

 

and

 

“3”

 

is

 

that

 

scanning

 

of

 

any

 

talkgroup

 

with

 

Monitor

 

Code

 

“1”

 

can

 

be

 

disabled

 

at

 

the

 

handset;

 

scanning

 

for

 

any

 

talkgroup

 

with

 

Monitor

 

Code

 

“3”

 

cannot

 

be

 

disabled.
