Audible User Feedback Tones - Kenwood TK-880 Service Manual

Decode Code
When "Special setting" is disabled, you can select the
decode code setting from #1 to #8. The transceiver tries to
decode the selected decode code setting (maximum 8 dif-
ferent settings) at the same time. When the code matches
in "5-tone code" menu, the transceiver operates as pro-
grammed in "Decode code" menu.
When "Special setting" is enabled, you can select the
decode format setting from #1 to #32. You can select the
decode format name, configured in decode format menu.
You can program the 5-tone code you want to receive for
each channel. At the same time, you can stand-by for de-
coding a single tone.
If the 5-tone code set in your transceiver matches a re-
ceived code. Monitor is activated and a beep sounds. You
can display the received 5-tone code on the LCD screen and
transmit an acknowledgment to the base station. Further-
more, you can activate the Horn alert, Transfer, Stun, and
Kill features.
Selcall/Status List
You can program selcall or status message when you
select the party from the list to make a 5-tone selective call.
Or you want to display selcall (status) code or message
when you receive the call. Maximum 8-digit can be pro-
grammed for the code and 100 different selcalls or status
are available for selcall/status list.
You can assign 16 alphanumeric characters to each mes-
sage.
Programmable Alert Tone
You can program the alert type from type 1 to type 8,
when the expected 5-tone is received. You can program the
number of times to repeat outputting and frequency and
duration for the alert tone.
When you select "Special setting", you can further con-
figure the beep tone type from No. 1 to No. 47, using the
encode/decode format.
Encode/Decode Format
You can use encode/decode format script function when
you select "Feature level" = Full and "Special setting" = En-
abled.
In order to write the encode/decode format script, you
need the technical knowledge of 5-tone signalling functions.
Of course, you can write the script to perform all the func-
tions that you can do with "Feature level" = Basic and Full
and "Special setting" = Disabled. (Menu driven method)
In addition, you can write the original script to control
various functions and signalling timing. Refer to each func-
tion of encode/decode format code for details. Sample
scripts are also available in the KPG-60D.
You can create 32 different types of encode/decode for-
mats. You can assign a name up to 12 characters for each
encode/decode format.
