One-way communication that alerts the receiver to retrieve a message.
A dual-core processor that contains an MCU and a DSP in one IC
package.
Printed Circuit Board. Also referred to as a PCB.
A circuit in which an oscillator is kept in phase with a reference, usually
after passing through a frequency divider.
See private-line tone squelch.
See phase-locked loop.
A continuous sub-audible tone that is transmitted along with the carrier.
See also DPL.
A memory chip on which data can be written only once. Once data has
been written onto a PROM, it remains there forever.
A cable that allows the CPS to communicate directly with the radio
using RS232.
See APCO 25.
See Programmable Read-Only Memory.
See Push-to-Talk.
The switch or button usually located on the left side of the radio which,
when pressed, causes the radio to transmit. When the PTT is released,
the unit returns to receive operation.
The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between audio sound and
infrared light (approximately 10 kHz to 10 GHz).
Amplifier having one or more active devices to amplify radio signals.
Not used with XTL 5000. The radio communicates directly to the
computer via a single programming cable. See programming cable.
Not used with XTL 5000. See Customer Programming Software.
See random access memory.
A type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly; that is, any
byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes.
A type of computer memory on which data has been prerecorded. Once
data has been written onto a ROM chip, it cannot be removed and can
only be read.
