General Information 1.1.1 Analog / Digital Operation The 5300 ES Series mobile radios use a digital signal processor (DSP) to provide IF and audio filtering and signal modulation functions. This allows operation on the following types of channels, backwards compatibility with existing equipment, and also the ability to operate on various types of radio systems. Narrow Band Analog - FM modulation is used with a maximum deviation of 2.5 kHz.
General Information 1.1.4 Systems, Channels, and Zones A zone and channel are selected to place and receive calls. The following describes the relationship between systems, channels, and zones. 1.1.4.1 Systems A system is a collection of channels or talk groups belonging to the same repeater site. It defines all the parameters and protocol information required to access a site. Up to 16 systems of any type can be programmed.
General Information 1.1.5 Programming Radio programming is performed using a PC-compatible computer and an EFJohnson Technologies Remote Programming Interface (RPI) and PC Configure programming software (see Table 1.1). Programming is described in the PC Configure Programming Manual included separately. 1.1.5.1 Alignment Radio alignment is performed using the same computer and RPI used for programming (see preceding section) and special PC Tune™ software.

S E C T I O N 5 Troubleshooting Section5 5.1 User Troubleshooting When approaching the limits of radio range, the other party may not be able to hear your transmissions and there may be an increase in background noise when messages are received. You may still be out of range even though you can hear a message. • The reason for this is that the signal you are receiving is usually transmitted at a higher power level than the one transmitted by your transceiver.
Troubleshooting 5.3 5300 Viewing Angle If no characters or all characters appear in the display, the viewing angle may be improperly adjusted. If the display is difficult to read from the angle you normally view it, the viewing angle can be adjusted as follows: Press and hold the last option switch above the display and then press the first option switch above the display. Release both switches and turn the Select switch until the best contrast is obtained.
