5.13.14 P25 Packet Data
P25 packet data transmission capability is available with Viking VP600 radios. A P25
Packet Data option button (if programmed) or menu parameter can be used to toggle the
data mode on and off. See Section 9, "Data Features" for details.
The P25 Packet Data mode allows a subscriber unit to act as a packet data modem for a
remote application connected to the subscriber unit through an RS-232. The standard
programming cable provides the RS-232 port (female DB9 connector) for connecting the
external data equipment to a Viking Portable 600 radio.
5.14 Keypad Programming
Keypad programming can be enabled only if it has been enabled at the factory and a
conventional mode option button or menu parameter is programmed for the Keypad
Programming function. The keypad programming mode is indicated by “Chng Zone” and
in the display.
Note The Keypad programming feature is available to Federal Government users only. Users
regulated by the Federal Communications Commission are not allowed to have this
feature.
