  • Page 90 Calling a specific radio using an ID The KG-935H also supports the ability to call another radio directly, using its Radio ID. To enable this function, you must activate and configure all radios in your fleet to transmit the Radio ID (see Sending a Radio ID on page 89) and select either the QT, QT+DTMF or QT*DTMF filter option in SP-MUTE (page 70).
  • Page 91 ID when the ID is shorter than six digits. Once a KG-935H receives a DTMF signal matching its radio ID, it will play a ring sound and then open the speaker to allow the incoming transmission to be heard. The length of the ring sound can be set using the RING menu option (page 75) or in the programming software.
