30 BK Radio
EMERGENCY CALL
Note: Emergency operation only applies to channels
programmed for Digital or Mixed Mode transmissions. If the
channel is programmed for Mixed Mode transmissions, the ‘TX
Digital’ switch must be ON.
To place an emergency group call, press and
hold the emergency button until the radio
beeps and the display flashes. On some
models, the emergency button may be the
[PRI] key. All scanning and priority scanning
functions will be disabled. If the radio is in
Unit-To-Unit Mode, that mode will be exited
and the radio will be placed in Emergency
Mode. Each subsequent press of PTT will
cause the radio to transmit on the knob-
selected channel with the emergency bit set,
indicating an emergency condition. If the
Channel Selector is changed, the Emergency
Mode will follow to the newly selected
channel. Cycle power to return the radio to
normal operation.
On channels programmed for analog
transmissions, and channels programmed for
Mixed Mode transmissions with the ‘TX Digital’
switch OFF, pressing PTT in Emergency
Mode will result in a normal analog
transmission.
USER SELECTED CHANNEL GUARD
When the radio is being programmed with transmit and receive
frequencies for each channel, a receive Channel Guard value and a
transmit Channel Guard value can also be assigned to each channel. If
User Channel Guard Selection is enabled, the Channel Guard values
for any channel can be copied to another channel in the radio. On
channels programmed for Analog operation only, the CTCSS or
CDCSS guard values will be copied. On channels programmed for
Digital operation only, NAC’s only will be copied unless the radio is
programmed to also copy the Talk Group ID (TGID), Mode (Digital,
Analog or Mixed) and Squelch setting (Normal or Selective). On Mixed
Mode channels, Analog or Digital values will be copied as needed.
