This field will be visible only if the Protocol Type field is set to IIi. Use the
UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the Trunking Access Type. This
determines how the radio will access a Type II/IIi system.
Select Tx Fast/Rx Fast for use with fast access systems and Tx Fast/
Rx Slow for slow access protocol emergency subfleets.
New Type I radios operating on fast access systems should be set
for fast access.
Type IIi radios which have to communicate on systems with slow
radios should be set to slow access.
Note: This information must be coordinated with your system
manager to ensure proper operation.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this option.
Emergency Call gives the operator priority to access the channel
during an emergency situation.
The Emergency Call condition is entered by pressing a button
configured to initiate emergency. All subsequent PTT transmissions
while in the Call state will be made with high priority access to a voice
channel. Emergency Alarm and Emergency Call may both be enabled,
in which case the Call state is entered when PTT is pressed.
This feature is one of the necessary components for Hot Mic Emergency to
function properly. For Hot Mic Emergency to function properly, all the
following conditions must be met:
1. The radio must be Hot Mic Emergency capable.
2. Emergency Call must be enabled.
3. Emergency Alarm must be enabled.
4. Revert PTT-ID must be enabled.
5. Console Ack Req. must be disabled.
The default is Disabled.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this option.
Emergency Alarm allows the operator to press the Emergency button
to send an alarm to the dispatcher. Emergency Alarm is a coded
transmission made on the control channel in response to pressing a
button configured to initiate an emergency. These alarm transmissions
will be sent until:
the control channel acknowledges the alarm;
the console dispatcher acknowledges the alarm (if console ack is
enabled); or
the alarm retry counter is exhausted.
If normal alarm operation is selected, the display will flash emergency
and valid key chirp will be heard when the alarm condition is entered.
Four full beeps will be heard when the alarm condition is
acknowledged.
