Transpond; Transpond Using The Optional Signaling; Transpond Using The Ltr Id; Conventional Group - Kenwood TK-3180 Function Reference

15 TRANSPOND

This function allows you to send the Acknowledge signal
when receiving a call. The transceiver transmits the
Transpond Tone when the Acknowledge is transmitted.
The dispatcher can also confirm that the transceiver is
within the communication range, or outside of the
communication range.
The Transpond operation varies between the Optional
Signaling call and the LTR ID call.
15.1 Transpond Using the
Optional Signaling
The transceiver transmits the acknowledge signal to the
Dispatcher after receiving the Individual Call with 2-tone
or DTMF, or DTMF Stun code.
Note:
" Transpond does not work with Group calls.
" The Transpond function is canceled when changing the channel
while the transceiver is in Transpond Standby Mode.
" When the Clear to Transpond function is enabled, the
Transpond is not transmitted while the channel is being used.
(Refer to 15.3.1 Clear to Transpond.)

15.2 Transpond Using the LTR ID

This function allows the transceiver to transmit an
Acknowledge signal to the dispatcher after receiving a
call with the LTR ID. The transceiver performs the
Transpond function after the Transpond Delay Time
expires. (Refer to 15.4.1 Transpond Delay Time.)
Note:
" When the Transpond ID is received during scan, the transceiver
performs the Transpond function after the Transpond Delay
Timer expires. The transceiver resumes scan after the Dwell
Timer expires. If the Dropout Delay Timer is shorter than the
Transpond Delay Time, the transceiver performs the Transpond
function after the Dropout Delay Time expires.
" The Transpond operation is canceled when changing the Zone
or GID during the Transpond Delay Time.
" While the TX Inhibit function is activated, the transceiver will not
Transpond. (Refer to 17.1.19 TX Inhibit (Block IDs).)
Version: 1.11

15.3 Conventional Group

15.3.1 Clear to Transpond

This function allows you to wait for performing the
Transpond function until the channel becomes available.
You can enable/disable this function using KPG-89D.
You can configure this function to 2-tone and DTMF.
!
Configuration using KPG-89D
• Configuring the Clear to Transpond (2-tone)
(Refer to FPRG 6.11.1 Decode tab - Clear to
Transpond.)
•
Configuring the Clear to Transpond (DTMF)
(Refer to FPRG 6.10.2 Decode tab - Clear to
Transpond.)

15.4 Trunking System

This function allows the transceiver to transmit an
acknowledge signal to the dispatcher after receiving a call
with the LTR ID. The transceiver performs the Transpond
function after the Transpond Delay Time expires.
You can enable/disable this function for each Group ID
using KPG-89D.
!
Configuration using KPG-89D
•
Configuring the Transpond function (Refer to
FPRG 6.6.12 Transpond.)

15.4.1 Transpond Delay Time

The Transpond Delay Time is the delay time between the
time when the transceiver receives an Group ID and the
time when it transmits the Transpond signal.
If the Dropout Delay Time is shorter than the Transpond
Delay Time, the transceiver performs the Transpond
function after the Dropout Delay Timer expires.
23.7.7 Dropout Delay Time.)
You can configure the Transpond Delay Time using KPG-
89D.

Time.)
