Adjustable Parameters
Busy Override Delay
- With SmartZone operation,
this is the amount of time a user must press the PTT
switch to override a SmartZone busy that occurs
because some member of the talk group is present at
a site where there are no traffic channels available.
Affiliate Hold Off
- With SmartZone operation, this
is the delay time that occurs after acquiring the con-
trol channel before it sends an affiliation ISW. This
prevents all radios on the system from sending affil-
iation ISWs at the same time.
Failsoft Inactivity
- Programs failsoft operation (see
Section 2.7.11). If the radio remains inactive (no
receive or transmit activity on channel) while operat-
ing in the failsoft mode for the programmed time, the
radio momentarily leaves the failsoft mode and
attempts to find a control channel. If “0” is pro-
grammed, the radio does not leave the failsoft mode.
3.4.5 RADIO-WIDE PORTABLE OPTIONS
SCREEN
The radio-wide Portable Options screen is shown
above, and it is used to program these parameters:
Standby Chirp
- If this box is checked, a chirp sounds
periodically in the standby mode while a low battery
condition is being detected.
Tx Chirp
- If this box is checked, a chirp sounds each
time the PTT switch is pressed while a low battery
condition is being detected.
LED Indicator
- If this box is checked, the LED on
the top panel indicates a low battery condition (green
in standby, flashing red in transmit).
3.5 PROGRAMMING CONVENTIONAL
SYSTEMS AND CHANNELS
3.5.1 INTRODUCTION
The following information describes how to
program conventional channels (both analog and
Project 25). Only one conventional system can be
programmed, and it is automatically set up when the
programming file is selected as described in Section
3.1.6. Up to 256 conventional channels can be
programmed (if no SMARTNET/SmartZone systems
are programmed). Refer to Section 1.2.5 for more
information on systems and channels.
The following is the recommended procedure for
programming conventional channels:
1. Program the radio-wide information as described in
Section 3.4.
2. If other types of systems have been programmed,
make sure the conventional system is selected in the
left pane or by selecting Window > Conventional in
the menu bar (see Section 3.1.11).
3. Program the conventional system information and
then the channel information as follows (both
analog and Project 25 digital channels).
3.5.2 CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM GENERAL
SCREEN
The conventional system General screen is shown
above, and it programs the following parameters:
