Channel Factory Settings
This transceiver has been factory programmed and can be used immediately once
purchased. All 16 channels have been activated with channels in the license free
bands as per the table below and on the back of the box. There are 2 bands, PMR
446MHz band with 8 frequencies (1-8) and the 464MHz band with 5 frequencies
(1a-5a). Select the same channel on any ZA-723 radio to communicate.
Compatibility:
The ZA-723 is factory programmed to be directly compatible with all 16 channels on
the TX-8, ZA-720 and ZA-721 radios and channels 1 to 12 on the ZA-748, ZA-725
and ZA-758 and the first 8 channels on the ZA-708 if they are set to factory
programming. You will need to reprogram your ZA-723 radio when there are other
channels to be set. Both the frequency (1-8 or 1a-5a) and CTCSS sub tones (1-38) /
DCS tone must be the same on all radios for full intercommunication. Should there be
interference on a specific channel, select a different channel. Note that Channel 9, 10
& 11 are set on the open frequency without a sub tone and channels 13 to 16 have
been set with a tone 20 for more privacy. A sub tone is used to privatise conversations
when using the same frequency.
An optional programming cable is available to program different PMR 446MHz and
464MHz channels and sub tones on the ZA-723. Please email
programming software. The programming cable is connected to the radio to the USB
port on a PC. Other settings such as Squelch level, VOX or Scan can also be
programmed. Licence free use of this transceiver limits the frequencies to the
446MHz and 464MHz bands and the power is restricted to 500mW. The supplier and
manufacturer take no responsibility if a user operates the transceiver not in
accordance with ICASA regulation.
ICASA type approval TA-2021/2206
