MDC 1200 OPERATION

I MDC 1200 system operation
The MDC 1200 signaling system enhances your transceiver's ca-
pabilities. It allows PTT ID*, Selective Calling, Call Alert, Radio
Check, Messaging and Emergency signaling. Also, the dispatcher
can stun and revive transceivers on the system.
An additional feature of MDC 1200 found in Icom transceivers is
called aliasing. Each transceiver on the system has a unique ID
number. Aliasing allows the substitution of an alphanumeric name
for this ID number. For transmit, you can use this alias to select a
transceiver to call. For receive, the alias of the calling station is dis-
played instead of the ID.
Please note that your dealer has set one of the programmable keys
(P0, P1, P2, or P3) for MDC 1200 operation.
*When [PTT] is pushed or released, self ID is transmitted.
