Description

LBI-38378D

∙Programmable Multi-Tone Channel Guard (CTCSS) - Channel Guard tone frequencies within the range of 67 Hz to 210.7 Hz, including all of the standard EIA frequencies, can be programmed for encoded/decoded operation.

∙Programmable Multi-Code Digital Channel Guard - Similar capability as with tone Channel Guard is provided.

∙Two-Tone Sequential (T99) Decode - Selective calling decode is enabled or disabled on each individual channel. Two (2) sets of unique de-codes are programmable to allow large systems individual and group call capability. Sets are selectable on a mode (bank of channels) basis.

∙Channel Busy Lockout - Personality information includes transmit disable capability on a channel where carrier activity is present This feature is selectable on a per channel basis.

∙GE-STAR Compatibility - The radio can be programmed to transmit GE-STAR at PTT key, at PTT unkey, or both. 16,384 individual ID codes are available.

∙Emergency Signalling Feature - GE-STAR emergency signalling can be enabled by the red Emergency/Home Button on the top of the radio or it can be enabled by a lanyard connected to the UDC.

∙Home Button - The radio can be programmed to switch to a home mode or channel (depending on Control Knob’s programming) when the red Emergency/Home Button on the top of the radio is pressed.

∙Programmable Carrier Control Timer - A programmable transmit timer will automatically disable the transmitter and provide an alerting tone after time-out. This feature prevents radio damage and unnecessary channel traffic in the event of a "stuck" mic. The CCT is reset on every PTT.

∙Programmable Transmit Power Level - Transmitter power level is PC programmable into the radio (high or low) on a per channel basis.

∙Squelch Tail Elimination - Squelch and audio circuits are designed so that annoying squelch pops which may occur at the end of received messages are minimized. This feature is compatible with existing STE systems.

∙Alert Tones - Alert tones prompt the operator of various radio conditions such as key pressed, CCT time-out or a low battery.

∙Power-UpSelf-Test- At power-up the radio automatically performs a diagnostic test on itself and reports any found errors via the LCD.

∙Programmable via the Universal Device Connector (UDC) - The entire operation of the radio can be field customized by programming the unit using an IBM PC or compatible computer. The programmed personality is stored in nonvolatile memory within the radio.

∙Simple Remote Control Capability - External accessories can be connected to the UDC such as a headset, a speaker-mic or a lanyard. Connection of the speaker-mic allows the operator to remotely control PTT operation and audio level of the external speaker. An antenna jack is located on the UDC for the connection of a remote mounted antenna such as when the radio is used in a vehicular charger.

∙Meets MIL-810C and D Specifications - The sturdy die-cast aluminum case is designed to seal out moisture, blowing rain and other harsh environmental factors.

∙Battery Packs - Several different battery pack sizes and capacities are available.

∙Available Options - These options include the antennas, audio accessories, batteries, carrying accessories, chargers, lanyards, and the vehicular chargers.

Two major assemblies form an M-PA radio. The Front Cover Assembly contains all of the microprocessor circuitry, audio circuitry and the operating controls. The Rear Cover Assembly houses the RF circuitry which includes the trans- mitter, receiver and the frequency synthesizer. The assem- blies are electrically interconnected by two single-in-line type connectors. When mated together, the assemblies form a weather resistant diecast aluminum case that protects the radio’s circuitry from harsh outside environments.

Power is provided by a battery pack that slides and locks on to the bottom of the radio. The radio’s on/off switch is located on the battery pack.

The antenna screws on to the top of the unit A side an- tenna connection is also provided at the UDC for an external antenna or for test purposes. This UDC antenna connection is also utilized for external antenna operation when the radio is locked in the vehicular charger.
