2.21 VHF LOW BAND (BAND 5) OPERATION – Analog Module Variances
Band 5 is an analogue only, VHF AM transceiver. Operation of band 5 differs slightly from the
others in the following ways:
1) There are only 3 soft key menu items available:
FPP Allows programming of a channel as described in the above section minus the
steps required for digital operation (NAC or TYPE). Wide and Narrow band
channel spacing is selectable even though there is no such allocation on low
band at this time.
SCAN Selecting this soft key will start band 5 scanning the channels in the scan list.
2) PC Uploading and Downloading channels to band 5 is accomplished using Technisonic’s
MultiTDP software which is supplied on a CD with the TDFM-7300-3 and from the TIL
web site. (www.til.ca) The files are compatible with those used on our TFM-550 model.
The same programming cable as is used for bands 1 through 4 is required. (047365-1)
For PC programming the TDFM-7300-3 must be put in to “PCDL Mode” via the function
menu. Otherwise the MultiTDP software will not be able to communicate with Band 5.
3) The F1-F4, ESW and TSW keys have no function on band 5.
4) Band 5 is not included in the cross band repeat or simulcast feature.
5) There is no P25 digital mode. Band 5 is strictly an analog module only.
