3-5. SystemIGroup Revert

SystemIGroup revert can be programmed for one of the following:

Last call revert

The system or group changes to the revert system or group when a call IS received with the system or group being scanned.

Last use revert

If a systemlgroup call is received during scanning and the PTT button 1s pressed for transmission and re- sponse within the drop out delay time, the system or group is assigned as the new revert system or group.

3-6. Scan Message Wait

The time for staying wlth the home repeater that receives a signal during system scan and monitoring data messages can be programmed. If there is no sig- nal from the home repeater, the system is scanned for about 50ms. If there is a signal, three data messages are monitored. Normally, three data messages are monitored for each system, and it can be increased in multiples of three data messages per line to up to eight lines.

If the repeater data message indicates that there is no call, data monitoring is terminated and the home repeater of the next system is scanned.

3-7. Call Indicator

The call lndlcator can be programmed for each group In trunked systems, ~tcan be set to respond to a selectable decode ID or one of t w o flxed IDS, except block IDS When a call IS recelved wlth a selectable decode ID, the call Indicator flashes When a call 1s recelved wlth a flxed ID, the call lndlcator lights con- tinuously.

In a convent~onalsystem, the call indicator can be programmed t o l~ghtfor each QT or DQT code It keeps flashlng while a call IS belng recelved It IS turned off by presslng any front panel key

3-8. Time-Out Timer

The tlme-out timer can be programmed In 15 sec- onds increments from 15 seconds to ten mlnutes for patch and Interconnect operat~ons If the transmlt- for longer than the pro- ter IS dlsabled and a warn- P l T button IS held down. he P l T button IS released. ute for dlspatch and three

3-9. Priority ID Codes

The priority of the programmable decode ID codes for each system is as follows:

1)Fixed ID code 1

2)F~xedID code 2 3 ) Selected ID code

4)Other selectable ID codes (Group scan only)

5)Block decode codes

When a call with a higher priority is received, that call is received immediately (except when the trans- ceiver is trunked out).

3-10. Group Scan Operation

Group scan can be programmed for each group. In addition to the ID codes of the selected group, the ID codes of the other groups that are permitted for group scan are decoded. (The t w o fixed ID and block decode codes are always decoded.)

If, during group scanning, a call is recelved with one of the selectable group ID codes for which group scan is enabled, the group display indicates the group num- ber that the call came in with. That group then be- comes the new selected group. Group scan resumes after the specified drop-out delay time or dwell time shared by the system scan elapses.

3-11. Transmit Inhibit

The transceiver can be programmed wlth a transmit inhibit block of ID codes. If an ID code within this block is decoded the preset time before the PTT button is 'pressed,transmission is inhibited. The BUSY indicator lights and a busy tone sounds until the PTT button is released to indicate that transmission is not possible (except clear-to-talk mode).

Transmission with the group for which the encode ID is not set is inhibited, and the busy tone is output while the PTT button is held down, regardless of the clear-to-talk setting.

3-12. TEL ID Codes (TEL MODE)

The ID code in the TEL ID block can be used to make a phone call by programming the block. To make a phone calls, an optional DTMF microphone is required.
