Attach Decode No. "ON" format
Attach Decode No. "ON" automatically encodes the user’s DTMF decode number after the encode number. This
can be used for any purpose.
Enter the required DTMF tones (up to sixteen tones, except "B" tone) and then transmit the total tone sequence
(including the users decode number) by pressing the [#] key. All tones will be transmitted in one continuous
sequence after pressing the [#] key.
Pressing the [
•
] key will delete the last number entered.
Always confirm that the LCD is clear before proceeding, as it may take up to 5 seconds for the tones to be sent.
For example, assume that your decode number is 12345, and that you wish to encode number 12346. You will
input 12346, and then press the [#] key. The Base Tech II Base Repeater will encode "12346B12345". The
called radio will display “12345” in their LCD indicating the calling party's number is "12345".
NOTE:
The "B" tone is used as the delimiter in this encoding format and therefore CANNOT be used as a DTMF
tone.
Pressing the [SHIFT] key and then the [#] will encode ONLY the encode number (and not the decode number).
Redialing with DTMF
If, during the programming of the Base Tech II Base Repeater, the <Attach Decode No> field has been set to
"OFF", the redialing function operates as follows:
Press [SHIFT], then press [#] and the Base Tech II Base Repeater will redial the last encoded DTMF number.
If, during the programming of the Base Tech II Base Repeater, the <Attach Decode No> field has been set to
"ON", the redialling function operates as follows:
Press [#] and the Base Tech II Base Repeater will redial the last encoded DTMF number with the Base Tech II
Base Repeater's programmed decode number.
Press [SHIFT], then press [#] and the Base Tech II Base Repeater will redial the last encoded DTMF number
without the Base Tech II Base Repeater's programmed decode number.
Restoring the last DTMF number to the LCD Display
It is possible to restore the last encoded DTMF number to the LCD display, provided the <Attach Decode No>
field has been set to "ON" during the programming of the Base Tech II Base Repeater. First, confirm that the
LCD is NOT displaying any DTMF numbers. Then press [V] and the last encoded DTMF number will be
displayed in the LCD display. It is possible to edit this number at this time by pressing the [V] key (which will
erase the last number) or by pressing the required keys to add additional numbers.
Encoding DTMF numbers with the 5-Tone system enabled
It is possible to enter DTMF numbers even with the 5-Tone system enabled. This function must be enabled
during the programming of the Base Tech II Base Repeater by setting the <DTMF Encode> field in the <5Tone
Encode Menu> to "ENABLE".
To enter a DTMF number (with 5-Tone signaling enabled), the user must press the PTT lever while entering the
first DTMF number. Second and subsequent numbers do NOT require the PTT lever to be pressed, provided all
numbers are entered within a few seconds (before the display reverts to 5-Tone mode and displays "5TON" in
the LCD display).
