CHAPTER 4
USING THE PROGRAMMING MODE
4-1. SCOPE
This Chapter provides concise instructions for using the PROG mode.
The Programming mode, accessed by opening the PROG menu is used to program manually the
parameters needed by your radio set. There are three main group of parameters:
• Radio parameters – the parameters for communication in your environment and in the radio nets
you use most of the time. Refer to para. 4-3 for details.
• ALE parameters – the parameters needed to use the ALE function. Refer to para. 4-4 for details.
• CCIR parameters – the parameters needed to use the CCIR function. Refer to para. 4-5 for
details.
The manufacturer offers a dedicated Radio Service Software (MRC), which is an efficient tool for
preparing sets of operational parameters for Micom-Z radio. MRC supports all the functions that can
be performed by means of the PROG menu. MRC is recommended when it is necessary to configure
many radio sets.
Micom-Z lets you change the most of parameters in use on-line, to adjust to any particular situation.
However, when you select another channel or net, the changes are discarded and the programmed
values are used again.
