20 FLEETSYNC
FleetSync is a Kenwood proprietary message
communication system using MSK modulation.
FleetSync can be used to identify individual transceivers
and enable text message communications.
A user can also send messages by connecting the
transceiver to the PC or to external devices since
FleetSync supports serial communications.
20.1 PTT ID Function
PTT ID can be used to transmit an identification code
stored in the transceiver.
A user can view the caller's ID with the received PTT ID.
Therefore, the user can confirm the caller's identity not
only by voice, but also through the PTT ID displayed on
the display.
PTT ID can be configured for each CH/GID. The PTT ID
can be transmitted according to the following timing.
(Refer to 12 PTT ID on page 36.)

FUNC (K)/Ver. 1.01
20.1.1 Caller ID Display
This function can be used to display the received PTT ID
(Caller ID) on the display.
A user can confirm the caller's identity not only by voice,
but also through the PTT ID displayed on the display.
The display reverts to the CH/GID display after the Auto
Reset Timer expires if the Auto Reset Timer is
configured. The display also reverts to the CH/GID
display when 1 of the keys is pressed.
If the transceiver receives the PTT ID while the conditions
for unmuting do not match, the transceiver continues
muting the speaker and displays the PTT ID.
The received PTT ID can be configured to be displayed or
hidden by using KPG-101D.
Note:
A user cannot reply to the ID displayed on the display.
The PTT ID is displayed even if the transceiver receives BOT or
EOT.
Configuration using KPG-101D
• Configuring the Caller ID Display (Refer to FPRG
6.12.1 General 1 Tab - Caller ID Display.)
20.1.2 PTT ID Sidetone
PTT ID Sidetone notifies a user when the transceiver is
available for voice communications after the transceiver
sends the FleetSync ID. With this tone, a user knows
exactly when to begin speaking after the PTT switch is
pressed.
PTT ID Sidetone prevents the transceiver from missing
calls by starting a conversation while the transceiver is
transmitting the FleetSync PTT ID.
PTT ID Sidetone can be configured to be enabled or
disabled by using KPG-101D.
Note: If the PTT ID is configured for the CH/GID, the transceiver
does not emit the PTT Proceed Tone.
