INTRODUCTION
The Dual Format PCS™ Portable Radio provides reliable trunked communication in the 800 MHz band. Advanced Dual Format technology allows the radio to operate within the EDACS Trunked system and the GE-MARC Trunked system. The radio will also operate in a Conventional system.
The radio is housed in a molded Lexan front and an aluminum rear casting. The unit is lightweight and easy to carry. A backlit numeric display provides clear visibility for night-time opera- tion. There are two models available, a 3-button Scan and a 12-button System. Both models are capable of Dual Format operation.
This manual provides instructions for operating both the Scan and the System model radio in either of the 3 systems (EDACS, GE-MARC and Conventional). A separate section is provided for each System (EDACS, GE-MARC and Conventional), with a complete set of instructions for operating the radio within that system. The DESCRIPTION section which follows and the Battery information at the back of the manual, is applicable to all users.
NOTE
This radio allows the operator to switch between an EDACS system, a GE-MARC system and a Conventional system. Special attention should be given to the system selected and the operating characteristics of the PCS radio working within that system.
