Motorola Astro Radio Software 68 81098e85 O Manual

							259 Disabled, the Auto Sel Call Transmit field on this screen will NOT be
visible.
Selective Call EncodeUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this option. When 
this field is set to Enabled, the user can send calls to an individual or a 
group of radios. This option is intended to eliminate the annoyance 
users experience when they receive traffic that does not pertain to 
them.
Note: If this feature is set to Enabled, and selection of target radio(s)
IDs via Call list is to be made available to the user, data must be
programmed into the appropriate Call List Table.
Auto Sel Call TransmitUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable the Auto Selective 
Call Transmit option. If the Auto Sel Call Transmit option is enabled, 
the radio will remain on Selective Call mode after the PTT switch is 
released.
ASTRO Unlimited CallingTo be able to take advantage of this feature, a radio must be equipped with 
a numeric keypad. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable 
Unlimited Calling. With this option enabled, the user is able to 
directly enter from the keypad the ID of radios to be called. Target 
Radio ID selection via the programmed Call List instead is still 
available for models so equipped.
Note: This option affects only the Call Alert Encode and Selective
Call Encode features. This field is visible if either Call Alert Encode or
Selective Call Encode is Enabled.
Adaptive PowerUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this feature. If this 
feature is enabled, the radio will use a lower power level if the station 
reports that it received a strong signal from the subscriber. The radio 
will always transmit with full power initially. Once the radio dekeys, it 
will look for a data message from the station. If the station reports that 
the last reception was strong, the radio will switch to the 1/2 power 
setting.
Note: Adaptive power is only available on ASTRO Tx channels.
Rd LapThis field is not visible for radios equipped with CAI Digital Operation. Use 
the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this feature. If this field is 
set to Enabled, the radio will be able to transmit ASTRO data packets 
(such as Status, Message, Emergency, etc.). If this field is set to 
Disabled, the operation of these features is inhibited in the radio. 
						

							260 Rx Unmute RuleUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select Rx Unmute Rule. The choices 
are:
[1] For radios equipped with VSELP (Vector Sum Exited Linear 
Prediction) operation, the Talkgroup ID match is the Talkgroup 
ID associated with the selected ASTRO system. For the radio to 
unmute on a Selective Call, Selective Call Decode must be 
enabled. 
[2] For radios equipped with CAI (Common Air Interface) 
operation, for this option to be available, Talkgroup must be 
enabled or Selective Call Decode must be enabled. If Talkgroup 
is enabled, the Talkgroup ID is the selected value on the ASTRO 
CONV TALKGTROUP OPTIONS Screen (F4/F6/F3/F9/F6/F6). 
See the further Note below. For the radio to unmute on a 
Selective Call, Selective Call Decoder must be enabled.
[3] For this option to be available, Selective Call Decode must be 
enabled.
[4] For this option to be available, the radio must be equipped with 
CAI Digital Operation. 
[5] When this option is selected, the Rx Network ID, Tx Network 
ID, and Direct Network ID fields will be set to 293 and will 
remain fixed at that value.
Note: For radios equipped with CAI Digital Operation, when
transmitting on the System Wide Talkgroup (ID 65535), the
radio will automatically receive on Normal Squelch regardless of
the setting of this field.
Emergency RevertThis field is visible if the Tx Signal Type in the Conventional Personality 
screen F4/F6/F3 is set to ASTRO. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select 
the Emergency transmit channel. The choices are Selected Channel or 
Channel #1, #2, or #3. Selected Channel will cause the emergency 
transmission to always be broadcast on the current personality.
However, the emergency transmission can also be reverted to another 
personality. Each ASTRO System also contains a table of three 
emergency revert channels, which are configured on the ASTRO 
SYSTEM screen (F4/F6/F5/F3). Channels #1, #2, and #3 refer to that 
table.
Normal  Squelch The radio will unmute upon decoding a Network ID 
match.
Selective Squelch The radio will unmute upon decoding a Network ID 
match and either a Talkgroup ID match or a 
Selective Call. [1] [2].
Data and Squelch The radio will unmute upon decoding a Network ID 
match and Selective Call. [3].
Digital CSQ The radio will unmute to all CAI compliant digital 
voice signals. [4] [5].  
						

							261 Note: Receive-only personalities must always revert.
Rx Network IDUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to scroll through the available Rx 
Network ID values, or enter the value directly. It may take a few seconds 
for the screen to update to the new value. The Rx Network ID feature 
allows the separation of addressing modes among co-channel and 
adjacent channel users. This feature is similar to the Private-Line (PL) 
and Digital Private-Line (DPL) features which exist in analog radios. By 
choosing an Rx Network ID, the radio can selectively address (choose) 
one of several Repeaters within overlapping coverage areas allowing 
the user to listen to a specific Repeater. The valid range of values is 0-
FFF in increments of 1.
Note: If the Direct Frequency Enable field is set to Disabled, the Direct
Network ID will be slaved to the Rx Network ID.
Note: When  Rx Unmute Rule is set to Digital CSQ, this field will be
set to 293.
Tx Network IDUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to scroll through the available Tx 
Network ID values, or enter the value directly. It may take a few seconds 
for the screen to update to the new value. The Tx Network ID feature 
allows the separation of addressing modes among co-channel and 
adjacent channel users. This feature is similar to the Private-Line (PL) 
and Digital Private-Line (DPL) features in analog radios.
By choosing a Tx Network ID, the radio can be made to selectively 
address (choose) one of several Repeaters within overlapping coverage 
areas allowing the user to key-up a specific Repeater. The valid range of 
values is 0-FFF in increments of 1.
Note: When  Rx Unmute Rule is set to Digital CSQ, this field will be
set to 293.
Direct Network IDUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to scroll through the available Direct 
Network ID values, or enter the value directly. The Direct Network ID 
feature allows the separation of addressing modes among co-channel 
and adjacent channel users. This feature is similar to the Private-Line 
(PL) and Digital Private-Line (DPL) features which exist in analog 
radios.
By choosing a Direct Network ID, the radio can be made to selectively 
address (choose) one of several Repeaters within overlapping coverage 
areas allowing the user to key-up a specific Repeater. The Direct 
Network ID will be used whenever the radio is in direct (talkaround) 
mode. Otherwise the Tx Network ID will be used.
If the Direct Frequency Enable field is set to Disabled, the Direct 
Network ID will be slaved to the Rx Network ID. The valid range is 0-
FFF in increments of 1.
Note: When  Rx Unmute Rule is set to Digital CSQ, this field will be
set to 293.
Late Entry Fast UnmuteThis field is displayed for radios equipped with CAI Digital Operation only. 
When this field is enabled, a radio that begins receiving a call already  
						

							262in progress is allowed to unmute before establishing whether the call 
is a secure call. Enabling this field also allows calls to unmute 180 to 
360 ms earlier than without this field enabled. 
It is recommended that this feature only be used on non-secure 
channels because radios receiving secure calls will unmute to 
unintelligible audio until the call is recognized as secure. The factory 
default is Disabled.
TalkgroupThis field is displayed for radios equipped with CAI Digital Operation only. 
This field enables/disables Talkgroup operation for the current 
personality. When enabled, function key F6 (TALK GROUP) can be 
used to reach the ASTRO Conv Talkgroup Options screen. The factory 
default is Disabled.
