Nxdn; Scan - Kenwood NEXEDGE NX-740H Instruction Manual

NXDN is a general term for the NXDN wireless communication protocol which
uses 4 Level FSK. Various data communications, including individual and group
voice communications, Status calls, and GPS data transmission, are possible.
INDIVIDUAL/ GROUP CALLS
Each channel is set up with an individual or group ID list number. To make a call,
select the channel with the ID list number you wish to call, then press the PTT
switch to start the call.
• Your dealer may also have set Selcall on PTT for Individual or Group calls, allowing you
to make an Individual or Group call when pressing the PTT switch.
• To page the target transceiver instead of initiating a voice call, press the key
programmed as [Paging Call].
• If PTT Proceed tone is enabled, the Proceed tone will sound. After the tone ends, you
can begin the call.
■ Receiving
When you receive an individual call, a ringing tone will sound. Respond to the
call by pressing the PTT switch.
• If the auto reset timer expires before you respond to the call, the call will end. Your
dealer can set the duration for the auto reset timer (default is 10 seconds).
When you receive a group call and the received group ID matches the ID set
up on your transceiver, a ringing tone will sound and you can hear the caller's
voice.
STATUS CALL
You can transmit your status (preset by your dealer) to the target transceiver by
pressing the key programmed as [Call 1] or [Call 2], if they have been set up with
an NXDN Status.
• Select the desired channel before sending the status call.
Scan monitors for signals on the transceiver channels. While scanning, the
transceiver checks for a signal on each channel and only stops if a matching
signal is present.
To start/ stop scanning, press the key programmed as [Scan].
• "Sc" appears on the display during Scan.
• When a signal is detected, Scan pauses at that channel. The transceiver will remain on
the busy channel until the signal is no longer present, at which time Scan resumes.
Note: To use Scan, there must be at least 2 channels added to the scanning sequence.
