Summary of Contents for Simoco SRP9120

  • Page 1 MRMap - www.mrmap.org.uk MRMap-GPS-Tracking-Communications-Safety-Mountain Rescue-Mapping-Downloads-Free Software Programming the Simoco SRP Portable For GPS Generic guidelines for the programming of Simoco SRP9120 and SRP9130 portable radios for use with the MRMap GPS Tracking Application. MRMap Development Team 21/07/2008...
  • Page 2 Failure to do this will mean the programming page for the microphone is not later displayed. The Radio Type will be either SRP9120 (No Keypad) or SRP9130 (Full numeric keypad) The programming software is available free of charge from the TMC website at www.tmcradio.com (...
  • Page 3 On this next page the only things of note are what you would like to be displayed on screen when the radio is switched on, here it’s the name of the radio’s user shown under Power-On Text. The Backlight Timer can be adjusted to whatever you wish and is, as the name suggests, the time during which the screen back light will be on whenever a function button is pressed or a message has been received by the radio.
  • Page 4 The Minimum Speech option sets the lowest volume level for a received signal and if set above 0, ensures that incoming signals are never completely inaudible. Key Beeps Enabled and Invalid Key Alerts do what you would expect and are a matter of personal preference as to whether they are used or not.
  • Page 5 All the function buttons from F1 to F7 can be individually programmed for a variety of functions as can those on the speaker microphone. If programmed they may or may not be subject to the condition of the KeyPad Lock depending on the function selected and other parameters.
  • Page 6 A similar set of functions to that shown on the previous page can be programmed into the speaker microphone buttons but equally, they can be left unprogrammed if preferred. Both the orange buttons, F7 on the radio itself and F10 on the speaker microphone can be programmed with the FFSK alarm function (see later).
  • Page 7 As with the programming of the function buttons, the menu options are selected from those available in drop-down lists. Individual menus are operationally selected by pressing the ‘M’ button (if suitably programmed) followed by ‘OK’ to confirm the choice of menu required. In the case of the Mute Adjust menu, pressing the + and - keys will adjust the current mute level but this is active only as long as the radio is switched on.
  • Page 8 If Level 3 programming is available in your version of the programming software then this page will be displayed. Nothing needs to be changed from the default settings apart from Compressor Gain which has been shown to give better transmitted audio whilst not degrading the transmitted FFSK data. To open the level 3 audio page, you need a password.
  • Page 9 Channel information is entered one channel at a time and is self explanatory. The SRP9120 can handle 200 channels and the SRP9130, 1000 After adding the required information for the number of channels you intend to use, the Channel Table will look something like the screen shot below. Scan banks can be added if required by selecting the Add Scan/Vote Group option and adding the numbers of the channels to be included in the scan bank.
  • Page 10 In versions of the software above 5.36 the ability to select which channels can send FFSK data has been added. The channels will default to sending FFSK and should you not wish to do this on a specific channel or channels then you must check the No FFSK ANI option for that channel under the Selcall options page.
  • Page 11 The Power-On options allow the user to select which channel the radio will be on at switch-on. If you select ‘Defined Channel’ then an additional option box will appear in which you put the number of the channel you want the radio to be on when it is first switched on.
  • Page 12 The only parameter of note on this page is the Scan Restart Time. Here it’s set to one second which causes the radio to restart scanning one second after the signal it’s receiving has been lost. The Tx Channel Whilst Scanning option allows you to select what the radio does if you press the PTT during a scan.
  • Page 13 Under Microphone Operations, Tx Limit Timer determines how long a single continuous transmission can last before the radio returns itself to receive. If the PTT has been accidentally pressed for longer than this period of time then the radio will automatically return to receive and even though the PTT remains pressed, it will not transmit again until the PTT has been released and pressed again.
  • Page 14 This page sets up the necessary callsign information for the radio to work with the MRMap GPS tracking application. You need to read the MRMap Setup Manual for more information on this but the numbers here refer to a radio who’s default callsign with MRMap is ‘Kinloss 50’...
  • Page 15 If either of the two orange buttons (F7 or F10) on the radio or the GPS microphone have been programmed as Alarm then pressing them will send a GPS position report without opening the microphone on transmit. This results in an otherwise clean data transmission being made that does not carry and ambient wind or other noise on the signal.
