4.3.3

Changing Channels

To change to another channel, simply press the [CH] key followed by the number of the
required channel within two seconds.
e.g.
To select Channel # 99, press [CH] [9] [9]
Note that it is always necessary to enter two digits for the Channel Number.
The channel # location displayed in the LCD will become blank as soon as the [CH] key is
pressed, and the cursor will blink at the location of the channel number, and display the new
numbers as they are entered.
It is also possible to change channels by using the [A] and [B] keys instead of entering the
channel numbers.
Pressing the [A] key will advance the channel to the next higher programmed channel, while
pressing [B] will advance the channel to the next lower programmed channel.
Note that this action will ignore channels that have not been programmed into the KG510.
Accordingly, the LCD display may appear to advance more than one channel if the missed
channel is not programmed into the KG510.

Signalling

The KG510 includes some very sophisticated signalling capabilities. We suggest that you have your
radio supplier conduct some training on the use of these capabilities prior to using them.
While it is possible to use these signalling capabilities in both repeater mode, and in base station
mode, many will only be useful in practice when the KG510 is used in base station configuration.
The KG510 supports the 5-Tone sequential, and/or the DTMF, and the Single Tone signalling formats.
The required signalling format(s) must be enabled when the KG510 is programmed.
4.4.1

5-Tone Signalling

4.4.1.1

Available Tones

5-Tone signalling is commonly referred to as Selective Calling (or Selcall) and usually
comprises of a series of 5 tones sequentially transmitted or received in accordance with
certain international standards. It is possible to use longer sequences to enhance the
signalling capabilities and to provide further functions.
Accordingly, the KG510 will encode up to sixteen (16) tones and decode up to eight (8)
tones.
These tones can be any of the following:
[0] - [9], and [A] - [D]
The most recently entered tone can be recalled and deleted by pressing the [ ] key
repeatedly.
4.4.1.2 Entering a 5-Tone Encode Sequence
When switched "ON", the KG510 carries out its self-test routine, and then waits ready to
accept 5-Tone encode numbers. Accordingly, it is only necessary to enter the required 5-
Tone digits directly using the keypad, and then pressing the [#] key to transmit the 5-Tone
sequence. (Up to sixteen digits can be entered).
If it is necessary to enter the "R" number sequence to activate the repeater, the [SHIFT] key
must be pressed before pressing the [#] key.
If a 5-Tone number is NOT displayed in the LCD, and the [#] key is pressed, then the KG510
will recall the most recent 5-Tone number and transmit it.
