G-STAR ID Encoding

G-STAR signaling is used with conventional sys-
tems to identify individual radio users by assigning a
unique G-STAR ID to each radio. This ID is trans-
mitted each time the radio makes a G-STAR call,
and is decoded by the dispatcher, giving a visual
identification of the radio in use. A total of 16,384
individual ID codes are available. An emergency call
may also be programmed.
There are two ways to make G-STAR calls on your
T2020.

the auxiliary key.
I A G-STAR call may be associated with each
channel that has G-STAR encoding pro-
grammed. To make one of these calls, change to
the desired channel and press the PTT key.
Depending on the way your radio is programmed,
the G-STAR ID is sent when the PTT key is
pressed, when the PTT key is released, or at both
press and release of the PTT key.
