Station Operation
2-8
The only properties unique
to the channel number
are:
mode
slaving
receive and transmit frequencies
transmit idle frequency
station call
sign
0
default operating mode
(if
any)
Channels and modes
are
separated
in
order to conserve code
plug
space.
From
the
user's point of view, they can
be considered the same, since a mode is
usually
slaved
to a channel.
This
means that when
a
channel is changed, the mode is also
changed.
This slaving
property can
be disabled for special
applications
by using
the
RSS.
Selecting
and
Changing
Modes
Selecting and changing modes is the same as for channels. The SSCB may
be
programmed
via
the
RSS
to provide several modes for each channel,
a separate
mode for each channel (channel-slaved modes), or one mode common to all of
the
channels.
The mode defines many of the
following
parameters associated
with
a
given
channel:
receive and transmit
PL/DPL
codes
PTT
priority
time-out timers
receive squelch qualifiers
o
repeater squelch qualifiers
oa
repeater
drop out delay
alarm tone routing
transmit audio
mixing (during
external data detect)
MRTI
phone patch mode
station
ID
qualifiers
PA
cutback qualifiers
mode power level
RPT TOT DOD
Reset
TX
code line qualifiers
MCS
table number
When
a station is programmed, identical modes are automatically deleted but not
identical channels. For example
if
a
station is programmed for four channels. Each
channel has
a
different transmit and receive frequency, but all other information is
the same.
Only
one mode exists.
