F3161/F4161 or F5061/F6061 radio. The programming information covers IDAS 6.25kHz digital programming, including IDAS trunking. IDAS (Icom Digital Advanced System) is a digital and analog land mobile radio system, using the NXDN™ 6.25kHz digital modulation and common air interface protocol.
Setting Squelch with RAN codes and IDs Squelch levels are set in the programming software and are activated in the Memory CH » Squelch Type field. The figure on the following page shows how squelch opens with digital frequencies. When the squelch type is set to OFF, only the frequencies have to match for two radios to open squelch and communicate.
Selecting Digital Features The figure below shows the sequence for selecting digital features. Note: the UT-126 DSP option board must be installed and the digital features enabled in the cloning software. The following table shows the digital features available for an individual or talk group call. Note: All options display for both Individual and Talk Group calls. Individual Call Digital Features Talk Group Call Digital Features Select Call...
Programming Digital Features Programming for a Select Call using Individual IDs Individual IDs allow you to call a particular radio, excluding any others that are on the same frequency. Program your radio with the following settings. All frequencies need to be entered and the squelch level must be set before performing this procedure.
Programming a Talk Group for Selective Calls Talk groups allow you to call a selected group of radios, excluding others that are on the same frequency. Program your radio with the following settings. All frequencies need to be entered and the squelch level must be set before performing this procedure.
Programming for Status Messages You can set your personal status to send to another radio, or group of radios, or allow your status to be accessed (polled) by other radios. Status messages can be sent and received using either Individual IDs or Talk Group IDs. Program your radio with the following settings.
Programming for Short Data Messages (SDM) You can send short, pre-programmed data messages (12 characters long) to another radio, or a group of radios. Program your radio with the following settings. All frequencies need to be entered and the squelch level must be set before performing this procedure.

To Send a Short Data Message 1. Press and hold the key assigned for Digital calls. The display will briefly show INDIVIDUAL or TALKGROUP. If you want to change from either INDIVIDUAL or TALKGROUP, press and hold the key to return to the memory channel display, then press and hold again to select the option you want.
Programming for Call Alert Call Alert allows you to send an alert signal to another radio, or group of radios, so that it can respond back. Program your radio with the following settings. All frequencies need to be entered and the squelch level must be set before performing this procedure.
Programming for Radio Check Radio Check enables you to check whether a target radio is powered on and within range. This feature is active for Individual radios, not for Talk Groups. Program your radio with the following settings. All frequencies need to be entered and the squelch level must be set before performing this procedure.
Programming for Stun Targeted radios can be rendered inoperable remotely. A stunned radio can also be revived remotely. This feature is active for Individual radios, not for Talk Groups. Program your radio with the following settings. All frequencies need to be entered and the squelch level must be set before performing this procedure. Memory CH Window / Zone Operation Window Field Setting/Description...
Programming for Revive Targeted radios can be revived remotely after they have been stunned. This feature is active for Individual radios, not for Talk Groups. Program your radio with the following settings. All frequencies need to be entered and the squelch level must be set before performing this procedure.
Programming for Kill Targeted radios can be rendered inoperable remotely. This feature is active for Individual radios, not for Talk Groups. Program your radio with the following settings. All frequencies need to be entered and the squelch level must be set before performing this procedure.
Programming for Remote Monitor The Remote Monitor feature allows one radio to open the mic of a targeted radio and hear any audio in the vicinity of that radio. This feature is active for Individual radios, not for Talk Groups. Program your radio with the following settings.
Programming for Digital Encryption Digital encryption uses an encryption key that you create and assign to the desired channel. Note that this encryption method is not AES/DES encryption. Memory CH / Zone Operation Window Field Setting / Description Zone Type Set to Conventional.
Programming LTR Operation To use LTR, the model must be set to LMR. LTR operation can also be used with the MDC 1200 signaling protocol. Memory CH / Zone Operation Window Field Setting / Description Zone Type Set to LTR. Double-click to access Repeater Settings (following table).
Programming Emergency Operation Emergency operation is enabled using a signaling protocol. This feature can be programmed in 2-tone, 5-tone, MDC, and Digital mode. Program your radio with the following settings. All frequencies need to be entered and the squelch level must be set before performing this procedure. Memory CH / Zone Operation Window Field Setting / Description...
Programming for IDAS Trunking The following procedure assumes that frequencies and tones have been entered and the squelch has been set. 1. Open the CS-F3160/F5060 software. 2. Click Model in the Menu Bar and select LMR. 3. Go to Memory CH and select Zone Operation. Select IDAS-Trunk in the Zone Type field.

Program Settings This section defines all of the enhanced feature settings for your radio. In most cases, the default settings will work best. Memory CH Window Field Description Suggested Setting RX RAN This is the receive digital code that must match the TX radio User Preference RAN before squelch will open.
Field Description Suggested Setting If enabled, the RX radio keeps a record of calls. User Preference These can be reviewed by selecting the Call Log feature from the display. The receive radio can log up to 10 calls. This feature works for Individual Voice calls or Call Alert calls only.
Emergency Window Field Description Suggested Setting This defines the text that will appear on the radio that User Defined Emergency transmits the emergency signal Text Alert Level Allows you to set the output volume for the emergency signal User Preference for the transmitting radio.
