Conventional Features
Transmit Type (P25 Mixed Mode Only) - If the selected channel is a mixed mode,
analog and P25 channel, this selects the transmit type. Either Analog or Digital (P25)
can be selected. This then determines if a Tx Code or Tx NAC is programmed above.
5.15 Text Messaging
If enabled, mobile radios have text message receiving capability (digital conventional
mode only).
Note Mobile radios can receive text messages, but cannot transmit them. All received messages
are limited to 200 characters.
5.15.1 Data Setup for Text Messaging
A mobile subscriber can receive a text message from another subscriber on a digital
conventional channel regardless of whether the channel uses a repeater.
The radio’s text message menu contains the item “Set R to R”. The default for this setting
is enabled, in which the following capabilities are operable:
A text message can be received from radios on a simplex digital channel
A text message can be received from radios on a digital channel with a repeater (if
repeater talk-around is enabled)
The repeater in use is programmed for Repeated Data mode (not supported by EFJ 2600
repeaters)
If “Set R to R” is disabled:
A text message can be received from radios on a digital channel with a repeater if
PCTextMessage is connected to that repeater (all radios must be dynamically registered
to the repeater)
A text message can be received from a radio and PCTextMessage on a digital
conventional channel (if PCTextMesssage is connected to that repeater)
5.15.2 Receiving a Text Message
When a text message is received, a short alternating tone is sounded and the display
flashes “Text Msg”.
