3.4 ADVANCED FEATURES
Your new Model KG208 contains many advanced features that may be used to suit your individual
system needs. Some are available at all times while others may be programmed as needed. Your
system engineer may provide additional instructions about specific features used in your system.
3.4.1 CHANNEL NAME
During programming, each channel may be assigned a name to assist you in channel selection. For
example, channel 1 may be REPEAT, channel 2 may be POLICE, channel 3 may be PRIVATE, etc.
When the channel is selected, the actual channel number will appear in the display. After a short time,
the channel name will appear. Up to 8 alphanumeric characters may be used.
Note that the radio normally is capable of up to 200 channels. If the Channel Name feature is used, only
100 channels may be programmed due to the additional memory requirements.
3.4.2 TRANSMIT TIME LIMITER (TTL)
This feature limits the length of each transmission to a pre-programmed time (5 to 255 sec.). This
prevents long transmissions, either accidental or intentional. If the time limit is exceeded, the radio will
stop transmitting and return to the receive mode. You must release the PTT button for five seconds
before you can resume transmitting.
3.4.3 ALERT TONES
The radio may be programmed to emit a beep from the speaker at the beginning of each transmission, at
the end, or both (This beep is not sent over the air). This will alert the operator that he has begun and/or
ended his transmission. Tones may also be programmed to beep when keypad buttons are pressed.
3.4.4 POWER-OFF TIMER
If this feature is programmed, the radio will automatically turn off after a period of time with no activity (1
to 15 hours). This will prevent the vehicle battery from going dead when the radio is not in use. When
the radio turns off, the display will show
PW OFF.
To return to normal operation, turn the radio OFF, then
ON.
3.4.5 TRANSMIT INHIBIT
During programming, different conditions may be selected to prevent transmitting, such as channel is
busy, improper CTCSS tone, etc. If the selected condition exists, the radio will not transmit and you may
hear a beep when you press the PTT button.
3.4.6 VOICE SCRAMBLER (Voice Inversion)
This feature may be programmed for any channel or channels. It scrambles the voice so that it cannot be
understood by another radio unless it also has the scramble feature. This feature may be programmed
into a several radios to permit private communications between those radios. Others in the group will not
understand the messages. This feature is useful for police and military operations.
An optional digital encryption module is available for use when very high security is required. This feature
is activated from the keypad.
3.4.7 ANI
(Automatic
Number Identification)
If this feature is programmed, the radio will transmit a unique ANI number each time the PTT button is
pressed. This number may be sent at the beginning of the transmission, at the end or the transmission,
or both. When the number is being sent, a small
icon will appear in the lower right of the display. If
this appears at the beginning of your message, your voice may be covered by the tones and will not be
heard by others. You should practice pressing the PTT and waiting for one second before beginning to
speak.
