Radio Wide Features
4.4 Home Channel Select
If the HOME option switch is programmed, pressing it selects the preprogrammed home
channel. This provides a quick way of returning to a frequently used channel. Pressing and
holding this switch until a tone sounds makes the currently selected channel the new
Home. (The radio can be programmed to ignore this press-and-hold function). The radio is
also programmed so that either the home or last selected channel is automatically selected
when power is turned on (see Section 3.1). A secondary Home, Home2, may also be
programmed.
Note The radio can be optionally programmed so that Pressing and holding the Home option
switch causes the radio to switch to the existing Home or Home 2 instead of making the
current selection the new Home.
4.5 Power Output Select
Each conventional channel and SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 Trunked system can be
programmed for High, Low, or Switchable transmit power. If Switchable power is
programmed on the channel or system, the Tx PWR option switch can then be used to
select high or low transmitter power. All models support switchable power.
Pressing the TX PWR switch toggles the power setting. The new level is flashed in the
display when this switch is pressed as “HI POWER” or “LOW POWER”. If selectable
power is not permitted on the current channel or system, the fixed power level is flashed
and no power change occurs. The selected power level is permanent until it is manually
changed again. The power levels are set at the factory or when the radio is tuned using the
PCTune™ software.
4.6 Alert Tone Select
The various alert tones that sound are described in Section 7.1. These tones can be enabled
and disabled if the TONE option switch is programmed. To turn all tones OFF, press this
switch and “TONE OFF” is displayed. Then to turn all tones on again, press it and “TONE
ON” is displayed. If this switch is not programmed, tones are fixed in the ON or OFF
condition by programming. Alert tones are totally disabled when the Surveillance mode is
programmed (see Section 4.10).
