StatusUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable the transmission of pre-determined Status messages. This feature lets the user send a status message to the dispatcher to inform the dispatcher of the current state of the radio and its owner (“ENROUTE” or “LUNCH” for instance.) Note: Radio controls may require additional setup for your Status configuration. Refer to the RADIO WIDE BUTTON/SWITCH CONFIGURATION MENU (F4/F3/F3). In addition, Status number and name aliasing can be configured on the TRUNKING SYSTEM OPTIONS screen (F4/F4/F3/F9). MessageUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable the transmission of pre-determined canned messages. This feature lets the radio user send messages to the dispatcher. Message transmissions indicate a temporary condition and/or a response to a query from the dispatcher (“PLS CALL” or “10-4” for instance). Note: Radio controls may require additional setup for your Message configuration. Refer to the RADIO WIDE BUTTON/SWITCH CONFIGURATION MENU (F4/F3/F3). In addition, Status number and name aliasing can be configured on the TRUNKING SYSTEM OPTIONS screen (F4/F4/F3/F9). Answer Only Allows the radio to accept calls only. List Only Allows the radio to answer and initiate calls only from the phone list. Unlimited Allows the radio to make calls both from the phone list and the keypad. The stored phone number list may also be modified from the keypad. Disabled No phone operation is allowed.
220 Call ID ListThis field will not be visible if the Operation field is set to Resp Only. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the Call List ID for the current personality. This is the number of the Call ID list that this personality will use for Private Call and Call Alert. The Private Call and Call Alert features must have a call list assigned for Unlimited and List operation. The Call ID List cannot be set to None when Call Operation is List or Unlimited. Note: Radio controls may require additional setup for your Private Call configuration on the RADIO WIDE BUTTON/SWITCH CONFIGURATION screen (F4/F3/F3). Refer also to the TRUNKING WIDE CALL LIST (F4/F4/F6) help screen. Scan ListUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the Scan List to be used for this personality. To change or view the scan list, access the SCAN LIST screen (F4/F3/F5). Trunking personalities may use Subfleet, Priority Monitor and Talkgroup type scan lists.

F/W FailsoftThis field will be visible only when the Protocol Type is IIi, and the Failsoft Type is Subfleet. F/W Failsoft Freq (MHz)This field will be visible only when the Protocol Type is IIi, and the Failsoft Type is Subfleet. A/G FailsoftThis field will be visible only when the Protocol Type is II, and the Failsoft Type is Talkgroup. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable Failsoft for this talkgroup. When the Central Site Controller fails in a Trunked system, the system goes into Failsoft operation. If the radio is set to Failsoft by Talkgroup, the radio will use these frequencies to transmit and receive on. A/G Failsoft Frequency (MHz)This field displays only when the Protocol Type is II, and the Failsoft Type is Talkgroup. Enter the Failsoft Frequency directly in MHz. F/S Frequency (MHz)Enter the frequency (in MHz) for Failsoft operation; if the repeater system fails, the radio will go into Failsoft mode (if the Failsoft feature has been enabled). This means the radio will act like a Conventional talkaround radio, transmitting and receiving on the same frequency, referred to as the Failsoft frequency.

227 Field Definitions Protocol TypeUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the Trunking Protocol Type for the current personality. Access TypeThis field will be visible only if the Protocol Type field is set to IIi. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the Trunking Access Type. This determines how the radio will access a Type II/IIi system. rSelect Tx Fast/Rx Fast for use with fast access systems and Tx Fast/ Rx Slow for slow access protocol emergency subfleets. rNew Type I radios operating on fast access systems should be set for fast access. rType IIi radios which have to communicate on systems with slow radios should be set to slow access. Note: This information must be coordinated with your system manager to ensure proper operation. Emergency CallUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this option. Emergency Alarm allows the operator to press the Emergency button to send an alarm to the dispatcher. The Emergency Call condition is entered by pressing a button configured to initiate an emergency. All subsequent PTT transmissions while in the Call state will be made with high priority access to a voice channel. Emergency Alarm and Emergency Call may both be enabled, in which case the Call state is entered when PTT is pressed. Emergency AlarmUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this option. Emergency Alarm allows the operator to press the Emergency button to send an alarm to the dispatcher. Emergency Alarm is a coded transmission made on the control channel in response to pressing a button configured to initiate an emergency. These alarm transmissions will be sent until: rthe control channel acknowledges the alarm; rthe console dispatcher acknowledges the alarm (if console ack is enabled); or rthe alarm retry counter is exhausted. Type II An enhanced version of the original Trunked Signalling protocol that provides additional fleet management flexibility for a given system via an expanded signalling format. Type IIi A hybrid of Type I and II signalling systems. This Trunking protocol type allows Type I radios to communicate with Type II radios on the same voice channel.
228If normal alarm operation is selected, the display will flash emergency and valid key chirp will be heard when the alarm condition is entered. Four full beeps will be heard when the alarm condition is acknowledged. If silent alarm is selected, there will be no display or audible indication when the alarm condition is entered. Nor will there be any indication of alarm acknowledgment. In addition, the radio will mute the receiver audio so that no radio traffic is heard. This feature is one of the necessary components for Hot Mic Emergency to function properly. Console Acknowledgment RequiredThis field will be visible only if the Emergency Alarm field is set to Enabled. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this option. If a Console Acknowledge is required, an Emergency Alarm is not considered successful unless a Dispatcher Acknowledge is received. When an Emergency Alarm is not successful, the full four-beep Acknowledge Tone is not sounded and the alarm is automatically sent again until the number of retries specified is exhausted. Retry CounterEmergency Alarm must be enabled for this field to be visible. Use the UP/ DOWN arrow keys to select the number of Emergency transmissions to retry should the initial transmission fail. If an unlimited number of retries is desired, select 0 (that is, Infinite). Otherwise, enter a value between 1 and 255. Normally if the radio is unsuccessful in sending a transmission, it will retry for one ISW sequence before quitting. For Emergency Alarms, however, the radio will retry for the number of ISW sequences specified by the Retry Counter. Tactical Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable (Tactical) or disable (Non- Tactical) this emergency option. If this field is set to Enabled, Emergency Alarms and Calls are made on the selected talkgroup/ subfleet unless: rAnnouncement Group/Fleet is selected; or rDynamic Regrouping Talkgroup/Subfleet is selected and there is no valid dynamic ID, in which case the default Talkgroup/Subfleet is used. If this field is set to Disabled, the radio uses the default Talkgroup and default Announcement group for emergency transmissions. Revert PTT-IDUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable the default Emergency PTT-ID option. If this feature is enabled, the default Talkgroup/Subfleet or Announcement Group/Fleet-wide transmissions will be in PTT-ID style. Revert Size CodeUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to choose the Size Code for this personality. Valid Size Codes are: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, M, O and Q. The Size Code determines the maximum number of fleets, subfleets and individual IDs allowed. Note: The Size Code and Fleet ID chosen must match the programming of the Central Controller.
