Encode Format:
The tone-signaling format used to encode outgoing calls. Please note that a number of the
formats employ tones that should not be used unless a non-standard guard tone is used by the system. Please
refer to the Tone Signaling section for signaling format compatibility.
Encode Time 1:
When using 2-tone or 5-tone, this sets the length of time for the first tone of the sequence. When
using DTMF, this is the tone ON time for DTMF tones.
Range:
0005 to 9999 milliseconds
Default: 0050
milliseconds
Encode Time 2:
When using 2-tone or 5-tone, this sets the duration of each of the remaining tones of the
sequence. When using DTMF, this is the tone OFF time (between digits).
Range:
0005 to 9999 milliseconds
Default: 0050
milliseconds
Key-Up Delay:
This is the amount of time the TRC will wait after sending guard and function tone before sending
the encode sequence over the air. This time allows for delays introduced by repeaters and decoding of squelch
control signals such as CTCSS.
Range:
0005 to 9999 milliseconds
Default: 0100
milliseconds
Hang Time:
Low-level guard tone will continue to be sent for this much time after encoding is completed. This
gives the operator time to say a brief voice message, or to press SEND before the guard tone drops. Hang time
does not apply when unless making a encoding.
Range:
0000 to 9990 milliseconds
Default: 0000
milliseconds
UTILITIES menu <9>
Generate LLGT:
Causes the TRC to generate low-level guard tone continuously until told to quit. This utility
may be also be used to adjust the TX audio level. Press CLR to stop tone generation when done.
Gen Test Tone:
Causes the TRC to generate high level guard tone followed by a function tone. After that, a
1007 Hz test tone along with low-level guard tone will be generated for 10 seconds. This is useful for the
measurement of signaling modulation.
Notch Adjust:
Causes the TRC to generate a test tone at the guard tone frequency continuously until told to
quit. The speaker is enabled while generating so that the RX notch filter may be adjusted. This utility may be
also be used to adjust the TX notch filter. Press CLR to stop tone generation when done.
Reset Defaults:
This will reset all the parameters listed above to the factory default settings. The contents of
the user database will not be affected.
Clear Database:
This will clear the user database of all ID's and User Names. The contents of the other
parameters listed above will not be affected.
Factory Debug:
This is used by the factory for product testing. Select this function only if directed to do so by
Midian Technical Support.
