If an incorrect status was selected or the incorrect number button was pressed, the status can be changed
during the pre-programmed time-out period by pressing another number button. The status selection can
also be cancelled by pressing the CLR button prior to the time-out period.
To view the currently selected status after it has been transmitted, press the STS button. If the status was
not sent successfully to the site, the text associated with the status flashes in the display.
The radio can also be pre-programmed to re-designate the keypad buttons for ST0 thru ST9 to send
status condition. In this configuration the radio status operation operates as previously described except
the STS button is not required. The keylight associated with ST0 thru ST9 indicates which status is
selected.
6.21.2 Message Operation
Message operation permits the transmission of a pre-programmed message text to a P25 Trunked site.
To send a message, press the MSG button (keylight comes on) then press one of the number buttons (0-9)
to select the pre-programmed message text. If no message text has been programmed for the selected
number button, the radio displays NO ENTRY and a low-pitched tone sounds. A valid selection permits
the message text to appear in the display for a pre-programmed time. After the time-out expires or the
MENU button has been pressed (the MENU button overrides the time-out period), the message text is
selected and is transmitted to the site. If the site receives the message properly when transmitted, a high
pitched tone sounds and the MSG keylight remains lit. If the site does not receive the message properly, a
low-pitched tone sounds and the MSG keylight blinks.
If an incorrect message text was selected or the incorrect number button was pressed, the message text
can be changed during the pre-programmed time-out period by pressing another number button. The
message text selection can also be cancelled by pressing the CLR button prior to the time-out period.
To view the currently selected message text after it has been transmitted, press the MSG button and then
the CLR button prior to the time-out period. If the message text was not sent successfully to the site, the
text associated with the message flashes in the display.
6.22 SQUELCH ADJUST (CONVENTIONAL)
In the conventional mode of operation, the squelch can be re-adjusted in the MENU selection mode or
from a front panel key on the keypad that has been pre-programmed. A default value of 9, or any user
level between 1 and 16, can be selected using programming software. The user can change this setting
either of two ways from the front panel keys.
NOTE
A value of 16 requires a strong signal to open squelch, a value of 2 requires a very weak
signal to open squelch, and a value of 1 is open squelch.
NOTE
When the squelch adjust feature is activated, Channel Guard and Scan are disabled. When
the squelch adjust feature is exited, Channel Guard and Scan are restored to their previous
states.
6.22.1 Menu Selection
