About the MDC 1200 system

The MDC 1200 signaling system enhances your trans-
ceiver's capabilities. You can receive or transmit a PTT
ID. PTT ID is a calling station ID that is sent by pushing
or releasing [PTT].
An additional feature of the MDC 1200 system included
in Icom transceivers is called aliasing. Each transceiv-
er on the system has a unique ID number. Aliasing is
a substitute for this ID number and you can give an
alphanumeric name for each station ID. In transmit,
you can use this alias to select a transceiver to call.
In receive, the alias of the calling station is displayed
instead of the ID.
