Allows the radio to automatically begin scanning when the user selects the current channel. When
disabled, the user is still able to invoke the scan operation, via a short or long programmable
button press (Scan On/Off) or Scan (Scan Menu) feature.
3. Color Code
This feature allows a color code to be assigned to a given channel. Channels may have the same or
different color codes. A repeater can only have one color code.
system. Different color codes are used to identify different systems. This feature enables a radio to
roam between multiple systems by switching between channels with different color codes. The radio
will be able to scan across channels with different color codes. Radios will ignore any channel activity
not containing the matching color code for that system. Repeaters using the same frequency may be
associated with different color codes. On shared channels, spectrum regulators may wish to assign
different color codes to different licensees as part of their license agreement, range: 1-15
4. Allow Talkaround
Ensures that the Receive parameters are used in place of the Transmit parameters when
transmitting. This feature enables communication between radios in close proximity without the use
of a repeater, and is, therefore, particularly useful when the radios are in close proximity and the
repeater is out of range. This feature can be toggled between Repeater or Talkaround mode, via a
short or long programmable button press (Repeater/Talkaround) or Talkaround (Utilities Menu)
feature.
Note: For a Digital channel, the Transmit and Receive frequencies must be the different for this
feature to be enabled.
5. Receive (RX) Only
Configures the channel to receive only without any transmission capability. All Transmit features for
the channel will also be disabled.
6. Offset (MHz)
Creates a Transmit Frequency from the Receive Frequency with an added Offset value. This ensures
that a radio's offset is consistent with the repeater's offset. A user may enter up to a maximum of 14
digits or characters, including the decimal point and negative sign (e.g. -12.025). Clicking on the Copy
button will populate the Transmit side.
7. Copy
Adds the Offset to the Receive Frequency to generate the Transmit Frequency. For an Analog channel,
this feature also copies all the Receive parameters, i.e. features inside the RX box such as the
Frequency (MHz), Squelch Type, Digital Private Line (DPL) Code (Octal), DPL Invert, Tone Private
Line (TPL) Frequency (Hz), TPL Code and Signaling System to the Transmit side. For a Digital
channel, the RX box has only the Receive Frequency (MHz) feature, therefore only this is copied to
the Transmit side.
A color code is used to identify a
