301 ASTRO Conventional Talkgroups within an ASTRO Conventional Talkgroup List. The factory default is 1. Talkgroup AliasEnabling this field allows the subscriber unit to display the Talkgroup Alias instead of the Talkgroup ID during Talkgroup Selection. The alias can provide any textual reference which conveys a useful meaning for the Talkgroup to the user. For example, if the Fire Department has a Talkgroup ID of 01234, an alias of ‘FIRE DEPT’ will perfectly describe what this group is to the users, and the users no longer need to remember that the numerical Talkgroup ID of 01234 is for the Fire Department. The factory default is Enabled. Talkgroup IDThis field is a five-digit decimal number designating a Talkgroup. Each Talkgroup in the Talkgroup List must have a Talkgroup ID. The valid range is 00001 to 65535. The factory default is 00002. Talkgroup Alias TestEach Talkgroup in the Talkgroup List may have a Talkgroup Alias. The Alias is designed to be a more meaningful shorthand description for the Talkgroup to the user. For example, if the Fire Department has a Talkgroup ID of 01234, an alias of ‘FIRE DEPT’ will perfectly describe what this group is to the user, and the user no longer needs to remember that the numerical Talkgroup ID of 01234 is for the Fire Department. The factory default is ‘TG 00002’. Voice Secure/Clear StrappingThis field enables the user to configure the Talkgroup’s transmit mode. Three options are available: The factory default is Select. Clear The radio transmits to the Talkgroup without any voice encryption. Secure The radio transmits to the Talkgroup using a Secure Key. If the radio is Multikey capable, the Secure Key is defined by the Key Index selected for the Talkgroup. If the radio is single key capable, the Secure Key is the single Secure Key. Select The user is allowed to select either the Clear or Secure transmit mode via the Secure Select Switch. If the radio is Multikey capable and transmitting in the Secure mode, the Secure Key is defined by the Key Index. If the radio is single key capable, and transmitting in the Secure mode, the Secure Key is the single Secure Key.
302Key SelectFor this field to be visible, the radio must be Multikey capable, and one or both of the following conditions must be true: 1. Secure Hardware Equipped on the Radio Wide Options (F4/F3/F2) screen is Enabled. 2. The radio is capable of Software Encryption and Software Encryption is Enabled on the Radio Wide Options screen (F4/F3/ F2). This field is an index into the group of Hardware and Software Secure Keys currently defined in the radio. The key referenced by the Key index is the Secure Key used to transmit to the Talkgroup when the strapping is set to Secure. This key applies only to the specific Talkgroup within a Talkgroup List. The factory default is 1.

ms in 10-ms increments.
Revert Channel TableThe Emergency Revert Channel table contains the channels (pointed

channel numbers in the table. Each MODAT personality will select one
of these channels or may choose itself.
First, create the necessary personalities. Then go to the ZONE/
