254 Field Definitions PersonalityUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the desired Conventional Personality. The number may also be entered directly. Note: Refer to the Motorola Radio Catalog Sheets for the maximum number of personalities allowed for this model. Smart PTTUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable the Smart PTT function. The radio can inhibit transmission either on detection of a carrier or on detection of a non-matching PL code. This feature prevents users from listening in on (or transmitting over) conversations that they are not part of. Quick Key OverrideThis field will be visible only when the Smart PTT field is set to a value other than Disabled. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable the Smart PTT (Push-to-Talk) Override feature. If this override feature is enabled, the user can transmit on a busy channel by a quick key (double press) of the PTT switch. Override Timer (ms)This is a view-only field that is always set to 500ms. Tx Power LevelThis field is visible on VHF and UHF radios only. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select High or Low transmit power for this personality. The transmit power may be reduced 2 watts. Busy LEDUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable the flashing red LED on the radio which indicates the presence of a carrier (busy channel). Unmute/Mute TypeUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the receiver muting and unmuting characteristics for this personality from the choices below: Rx Unmute Delay (ms)Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select a Receive Unmute Delay for this personality. This is the amount of time the radio waits to unmute after squelch has been detected. Eight choices between 0 (zero) and 2150 ms are available. Standard The radio unmutes audio when there is a valid PL (or DPL) signal, and mutes when the PL (DPL) signal is no longer present. Use this option for Carrier Squelch operation. Unmute, Std MuteThe radio unmutes only when there is a valid PL (or DPL) signal AND there is a carrier strong enough to break squelch. The radio mutes when the PL (or DPL) signal is no longer present. Unmute, OR MuteThe radio unmutes only when there is a valid PL (or DPL) signal AND there is a carrier strong enough to break squelch. The radio mutes when the PL (or DPL) signal is no longer present OR the squelch closes (weak carrier).
255 Reverse Burst TOCUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable the Reverse Burst (PL), or turn-off code (DPL), to be transmitted after the radio is de-keyed. The Reverse Burst or turn-off code is used to signal the receiving radio that the transmission is ending and to indicate that audio must be muted. By muting before the carrier drops, the noise burst (squelch tail) on the receiving end is substantially reduced. Squelch (Fine Tune)Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to adjust the Squelch Fine Tuning. This value is combined with the master squelch setting to determine the overall squelch for this personality. This feature can be used to tighten the squelch on frequencies that are experiencing interference while maintaining maximum sensitivity on all other frequencies. The valid range of values is 0 (zero) to 31 in increments of 1. Second LO Side InjectionUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable Second LO (Local Oscillator) Side Injection operation on this personality. Note: Side Injection controls a very important aspect of the frequencies associated with this personality, and SHOULD NOT be enabled unless verified as necessary. When this feature is enabled, it will override otherwise regular radio signal algorithms for this personality and result in the reduction of interference from very near units operating on different but fairly close (within 900 kHz separation) channels. Auto ScanUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable the Auto Scan option for this personality. When this feature is enabled, the radio will automatically scan when on this personality. To use a scan on/off switch or button, this option must be set to Disabled. Rx EmphasisUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable receive de-emphasis on this personality. Tx EmphasisUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable Transmit Pre- emphasis on this personality. Pre-emphasis Amplifies the higher frequencies so that, when they are transmitted, the signal-to-noise ratio is better. De-emphasis Reverses the pre-emphasis after the signal has been received. Pre-emphasis Amplifies the higher frequencies so that, when they are transmitted, the signal-to-noise ratio is better. De-emphasis Reverses the pre-emphasis after the signal has been received.
256 Tx DeviationUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the Transmitter Deviation for this personality. This is the maximum amount that modulation can cause the carrier to deviate from its unmodulated frequency. The choices are: Note: If 2.5 kHz is selected and the Rx Voice/Signal Type on the CONVENTIONAL PERSONALITY screen (F4/F6/F3) is set to Non- ASTRO for the current personality, the Secure/Clear Strapping field (Voice Secure/Clear Strapping for radios capable of CAI Digital Operation) on the CONVENTIONAL SECURE PERSONALITY screen (F4/F6/F3/F6) will be set to clear and will not be displayed for the current personality. In this case, the radio will not send SECURE transmissions on this personality. Tx Deviation T/AThis is a read-only field. It specifies the Tx deviation for Talkaround (Direct). This deviation will be the same as the normal Tx deviation. Channel SpacingThis is a view-only field. One Touch Buttons 1-4 Index Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the One Touch Index for the current Conventional personality. The One Touch Index will indicate which list member associated with the feature assigned to the corresponding One Touch Button is transmitted when the One Touch Button is pressed. 2.5 kHz VHF, UHF, and 800 MHz Band Analog and ASTRO (12.5 kHz Channel Spacing - Not ASTRO WIDE Pulse) 4.0 kHz 821 MHz Band (20 kHz Channel Spacing) 5.0 kHz VHF, UHF, and 800 MHz Bands (30/25 kHz Channel Spacing)
