MTSX RSS
Path The location of a sub-directory on a disk or diskette. Paths start at the root directory of the
disk or diskette and end at the directory containing the desired file.
PC Personal Computer.
Personality A collection of parameter values, such as frequencies and PL codes. Often used
interchangably with the terms mode or channel in the RSS manual.
Personality file A file that contains the data to be stored in a radio's EEPROM. This file contains information
such as receive frequency, transmit frequency, squelch code, etc.
PL Private Line coded squelch. A channel that has PL on the receive frequency will require both
the presence of carrier as well as the correct PL code before it will unmute. Also, if you have
PL on the transmit frequency, all transmissions on that channel will be modulated at a sub-
audible level by the PL code. Modulation is continuous.
PL Code A two-digit alphanumeric code for specific sub-audible tones.
Pop-Up Window A message area that overlays on a data entry/display area; used to indicate non-data entry
error or to verify destructive commands and to provide function key choices for next course
of action.
Port A hardware interface that the computer uses to communicate with other devices. May be
parallel (4, 8, or more bits presented to the interface at a time) or serial (1 bit presented to
the interface at a time).
Priority Channel A channel that is deemed more important to the radio operator than any other. The radio is
required to always unmute on activity there even though receiving activity on another
channel during priority scan.
Priority Levels A number given to each radio user on a trunked system to allow system access to the most
critical users during busy periods. Assignment of priority levels is controlled by the System
Manager. Three levels of priority are available on a Privacy Plus System, five levels are
available on Type I SMARTNET system.
Priority Sample The rate at which the priority channel is checked in priority scan for activity.

Private Line See PL
Privacy Plus Privacy Plus is a type of trunking system. This trunking system is limited in the options
available to its radio users. The system does not have emergency or dynamic regrouping
capabilities. Most shared (Public) Trunking Systems are of the Privacy Plus variety.
Program 1) A set of computer instructions designed to have the computer perform a specific
sequence of actions. 2) A means by which the workspace is transferred from the computer
into the radio's EEPROM.
Program tree A figurative term used to describe the organization of a multi-level menu-driven software
program.
PTT Push-To-Talk feature or button.
PTT ID Push-To-Talk IDentification. A feature that sends your radio's identification number on each
transmission.
Queuing A method of servicing users which is used when a Trunking system is busy. The Central
Controller stores a radio's request to transmit and makes determinations as to what radio
will be serviced on a First-In First-Out (FIFO) basis.
