idents match, the radio knows it is being called and sounds an
alarm to alert you, otherwise the call is ignored.
Note:
Although your radio's selcall ident is pre-programmed at
the factory, you can change it if required. see CHANGING YOUR
OWN SELCALL IDENT on page 11.
Selcall iDent nameS
When storing selcall idents, the tX3340 allows you to add a 5
character name to each one, making it easier to identify whose
ident you are recalling from the memory. in addition, if an incoming
selcall matches one of the idents stored in the memory, the name
can be displayed to make it easier for you to identify the caller.
quiet moDe
your tX3340 can be set to monitor signals on a busy channel but
remain quiet unless it receives its own selcall ident. in this way,
you won't be disturbed unless someone calls you. When a signal
containing your selcall ident is received, QuiEt mode is deactivated
and an alarm sounds to alert you to the call. you can then converse
normally on the channel.
QuiEt mode operation is described later in this manual.
Note:
QuiEt mode overrides the normal squelch system to ensure
that the radio remains quiet even when the channel is busy. When
QuiEt is set, you may see the 'Busy' icon appear on the display
indicating the channel is being used. however, unless someone
transmits your selcall ident, nothing will be heard in the speaker.
you can activate QuiEt mode on individual channels i.e. some
channels can be set to remain quiet while others can remain open
to all incoming signals.
TIP:
setting QuiEt mode is not mandatory. you can still use selcall
on any channel whether the QuiEt mode is set or not.
Selcall memorieS
your tX3340 is fitted with one call memory and 10 selcall
ident memories. the 10 selcall ident memories are used to store
frequently used selcall idents. the additional call memory holds
the ident you last sent or received. the memories can be viewed by
briefly pressing the CALL key. the initial memory displayed is the
call memory. Pressing the
10 selcall storage memories in sequence. selcall memories are
labelled 'c0' to 'c9'.

NOTE:
the AcmA requires that cumulative selcall transmissions
should not exceed 3 seconds in any 60 second period. to meet this
requirement with your tX3340 you should not send any more that
3 selcall transmissions per minute.

normal mode. to exit cAll to mode without sending the selcall
briefly press the CALL button.
