Naming Your Selcall Idents - GME GA9800 Instruction Manual

NAMING YOUR SELCALL IDENTS

The TX6200 allows you to name each Selcall Ident using a 5 character ALPHA name. The
name is stored in memory along with the Ident making it easier to identify whose Ident you are
recalling from the memory. If an incoming Selcall matches one of those in your radio's memory,
the name can be displayed instead of the Selcall Ident.
Displaying ALPHA Names
To display the Selcall's ALPHA Name, you must have the radio's ALPHA display mode
selected. To toggle the ALPHA display mode, briefly press the CALL key to enter the 'Call To'
mode, then briefly press the Monitor key. A high beep indicates Alpha mode is selected while a
low beep means the Ident mode is selected. To exit the 'Call To' mode, briefly press the CALL
key again, or simply wait until it times out.
TIP: The normal channel display will give no indication of which display mode is selected.
Only when displaying Idents will it become obvious which mode is presently selected.
Entering and Storing a Selcall Name
Note: Before adding an ALPHA Name to a Selcall Ident, you should first store the required Ident
in memory as described above under "STORING SELCALL IDENTS".
1. Briefly press the CALL key. The "CALL TO" mode will be selected and the last-sent
Selcall memory location will be displayed.
2. Press the Monitor key to select the ALPHA mode. A high beep indicates ALPHA mode is
selected. If you hear a low beep, briefly press Monitor again.
3. Press the or
(locations c0 to c9). If no ALPHA name has been programmed for that memory the radio will
probably display - - - - - otherwise it will display the ALPHA name last programmed into that
memory.
