Selective Call (SELCALL)
This is a voice call to a particular individual or group of
stations.
• Example of call types;
[100][ALL ] : <Group Call>
All the units whose fleet number is "100" are called.
[100][1000] : <Individual Call>
The unit, whose the fleet number is "100" and ID num-
ber is "1000", is called.
[ALL][ALL ] : <Broadcast Call>
All the units are called.
[ALL][1000] : <Supervisor Call>
All ID "1000" are called regardless of their fleet number.
• Unit ID encode block
Encode ID Block can be set to limit manual dial ID. The
radio unit will not accept an ID other than these IDs which
are entered from the keypad. If Inter-fleet Call is enabled,
block ID setting affects each fleet group.
Status Message
Using a 2-digit number, you can send and receive a Sta-
tus message which may be decided in your talk group. Each
Status may be displayed with 16 alphanumeric characters if
programmed in the radio. A maximum of 9 received mes-
sages can be stored in the stack memory, and it can be re-
viewed after reception. If the message memory becomes
full, the oldest one will be erased. The stack memory will be
cleared by turning radio power off.
• Status 80~99 (Special)

purposes. Entering these statuses from the DTMF keypad
can be inhibited.
