GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Te r mDefinition
Busy Channel 
Lockout (BCLO)If BCLO is activated, the radio will check for channel activity before transmit-
ting. If activity is detected, transmission is prohibited. For carrier squelch mode, 
radio will not transmit, if it is receiving carrier. For coded squelch mode, it will 
not transmit, if it is receiving carrier with different PL/DPL code.
CarrierAn electromagnetic signal that is transmitted on a selected frequency for the 
purpose of carrying voice or data transmissions along with it. Carrier can then 
be received by all radios listening on that frequency.
CDCompact Disk.
ChannelA single path separated by frequency or time divisions used for transmitting 
and/or receiving voice and/or data.
CodeplugA solid-state chip inside a radio where the radio’s personality data is stored.
CPSAcronym for Customer Programming Software. Licensed Motorola software 
used to program two-way radios with a unique set of features.
EPPEnvironmentally Preferred Product.
Frequency(a) The location of the center of a channel of operation in the radio spectrum. 
Measured in Megahertz (MHz).
(b) A computer speed. Measured in Megahertz (MHz).
Model NumberThe model number identifies the type of radio. This information is stored in the 
radio’s codeplug.
Normal ScanFor Normal Scan, the radio assigns equal priority to all members in the Scan 
List selected for the current channel. When the radio is scanning a Scan List 
(Active Scan), all scan list members (including the Home Channel) will be allo
-
cated equal time to be scanned. For example, if the Home Channel is H1, and 
the Scan List Members are Nn, then the scanning sequence is: N1, N2, N3, ..., 
H1, N1, N2, ..., etc.
PLLPhase-Locked Loop: a circuit in which an oscillator is kept in phase with a ref-
erence, usually after passing through a frequency divider.
Priority ScanFor Priority Scan, the radio assigns the highest priority to the channel defined 
in the CPS as Priority Channel. When the radio is scanning a Scan List (Active 
Scan), 50% of the scans are targeted at the Priority Channel. For example, if 
the Priority Channel is P1, and the non-priority Scan List Members are Nn, then 
the scanning sequence is: P1, N1, P1, N2, P1, N3, P1, N4, P1, N5, etc.
ProgramThe transfer of CPS information from the computer’s temporary memory (RAM) 
to the radio.
PTTPush-To-Talk: the switch located on the left side of the radio which, when 
pressed, causes the radio to transmit.
RESETReset line: an input to the microcontroller that restarts execution.

Reverse Burst / 
Turn Off CodeCauses a Tone Private Line (TPL) or Digital Private Line (DPL) code to be 
transmitted at the end of a transmission - once PTT is released, and while op
-
erating on the current channel. This sub-audible tone causes the receiving ra-
dio to mute its speaker before loss of a carrier is detected. Muting the speaker 
eliminates unwanted noise (squelch tail) during loss of carrier detection. 
ROMRead Only Memory.
Scan ListThe Scan List determines which channels the radio scans, when operating in 
the Scan Mode, on the current channel.
Scan List MemberThe Scan List allows you to select the grouping of channels that make up the 
current Scan List Member channels. This grouping of Scan List Member chan
-
nels can then be scanned for transmission activity - one at a time, when the ra-
dio is in Scan Mode. A Scan List can have a maximum of 16 Scan List 
Members. Scan List Member scanning priority is definable.
Scan ModeWhen the radio is in one of the two Scan States: Active Scan and Landed Scan. 
This mode is initiated when the programmable SCAN button is pressed.
Serial NumberEach radio has its own unique serial number. This information is stored in the 
radio’s codeplug.
SoftwareComputer programs, procedures, rules, documentation, and data pertaining to 
the operation of a system.
SquelchMuting of audio circuits when received signal levels fall below a pre-determined 
value.
Tone Private Line 
(TPL)Transmitted when the receiving radio is to only receive calls from radios with 
specific TPL codes, this creates communications groups while operating in 
Conventional Dispatch mode. TPL allows for more use and privacy on a fre
-
quency. TPL is transmitted at a sub-audible (not able to be heard) frequency. 
Also known as CTCSS.
Tx FrequencyA designated frequency used when transmitting carrier for the current channel.
µCMicrocontroller.
UHFUltra High Frequency.
VHFVery High Frequency.
