In addition to the required information above, the following optional information can also be programmed. Trunked System Unit Calls – KNG Series radios allow programming of a unit ID list. This is essentially a phone book which links radio unit IDs to an alias or name. When the radio displays unit ID information and this ID is in the Unit Call list, the radio will automatically display the alias instead of the number. -
Page 28: Neovision Ask - Customer Programming Software
NeoVision ASK - Customer Programming Software KNG Trunked radios are programmed using RELM/BK Radio’s NeoVision ASK programming software (KAA0735). A valid system key (either hardware or software) is required to open NeoVision ASK. Only trunking systems for which a valid system key is present can be programmed using NeoVision ASK. - Page 29 NeoVision ASK will enforce the restrictions programmed on the child key and will allow the user to edit only the permitted parameters and enter only valid UIDs and TGIDs NeoVision is now ready to program the remaining trunked system parameters as described below.
