Decode ID Display Operations
The VMDE-200 decodes and displays received ANI during idle
periods when the radio display is showing channel information. If an
alias table entry exists for the received ID, the alpha-numeric alias
will be substituted for the numerical ID. The display alternates
between the message type and the ID. For received PTT ANI, only
the ID is displayed. The display shows the ID and type for the entire
period the radio is in receive mode from the identified radio. After
the transmitting radio unkeys, the display reverts to channel
information. The ID will be displayed for a minimum of 5 seconds
unless overwritten by another message or the receiver becomes
inactive and then active again. The last received information can be
recalled by pressing the <B> button. The display will revert to
channel information again after 5 seconds. Decode ID display
operations do not occur while the operator is actively entering
information via the keypad, or when the unit is in an emergency or
man-down cycle. If a message is received while in this mode, the
operator may view the last message by exiting the entry routine and
then pressing the <B> button. While waiting for an ACK message,
the display will show ―SENDING‖. In this mode, received ID’s will not
be displayed and receipt of an ACK will overwrite the recall
information that would be displayed by pressing the <B> button. ID’s
and the message types are handled as follows:
GE Star®
On a GE Star® signaling channel, message types will be displayed
as described in the following table. Highlighted message types are
not displayed. The display will alternate between the message type
and the ID. PTT ANI displays only the ID. Undefined message
types are displayed, alternating with the received GE Star® message
code.
