5-26 5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual October 2008
Conventional Features
TX POWER - Selects the desired power output level. Rotate the Select switch to scroll
through the following choices. When the desired setting is displayed, store it by
pressing the Select switch. A single beep sounds when the switch is pressed (if that
option is selected).
- POWER High - Selects high transmit power.
- POWER Low - Selects low transmit power.
- POWER SW - Switchable power selectable by the High/Low power switch. This
choice is not available if that switch is not programmed.
TX TIMER - Enables or disables the time-out timer on the current channel. Rotate the
Select switch to toggle between the ON and OFF mode, and when the desired setting is
displayed, store it by pressing the Select switch. A single beep sounds when the switch
is pressed (if that option is selected).
Channel Alias - Programs the alias for the channel. Up to ten characters from A-Z and
0-9 and spaces can be entered. Press Select switch once to display the current alias and
then press it again or rotate it to program a new alias. Rotate the Select switch to display
the desired character and then press it to move to the next position. A single beep
sounds when the switch is pressed (if that option is selected). The number is stored after
the Select switch is pressed with the last position selected.
Note The next two parameters are programmed only if the radio is programmed for encryption.
Strapping - Selects the encryption strapping mode for the channel as Clear, Secure, or
Switched.
Key Select - Selects the encryption key for the channel if applicable. The key storage
location of 0-63 (PID) or 1-64 (SLN) is selected (see Section 10.2.2). If no keys are
programmed, “NO KEYS” is displayed.
CHAN SPACE (Analog Only) - Selects either wide or narrow band channel spacing on
analog channels only. Rotate the Select switch to toggle between “WIDE” and
“NARROW”, and when the desired setting is displayed, store it by pressing the Select
switch. A single beep sounds when the switch is pressed (if that option is selected).
Note The channel spacing is not set with P25 channels because it is always narrow, and the
squelch cannot be changed because the setting is critical for proper receiver operation.
SQ ADJUST (Analog Only) - Changes the preset squelch setting on that channel. The
default setting is “0” and values of –7 to +7 can be selected. Increasing this setting
toward +7 causes the squelch to open sooner so that weaker signals can be received, and
decreasing it toward –7 causes the opposite to occur.
TG ID (P25 Only) - Selects the talk group for the selected channel. Rotate the Select
switch to display the alias of each preprogrammed talk group and then press it to store
the desired talk group. A single beep sounds when the switch is pressed (if that option is
selected).
