Individual acknowledge (“INDIVIDUAL ACK”)
The radio can be configured to automatically acknowledge an
incoming call, or require manual intervention:
AUTO
Sends an automatic acknowledgement to caller, and after 10
seconds, sets radio to the requested channel, ready for conversation.
US model default.
MANUAL
Operator must manually choose to send acknowledgement, as well
as change to requested channel. EU model default.
¼ Note: this does not apply for Routine Calls.
Position request acknowledge (“POS ACK”)
The radio can be configured to automatically acknowledge
an incoming position request, require manual intervention to
acknowledge, or simply ignore them:
AUTO
Sends current position automatically to calling radio.
MANUAL
Operator must manually choose to send position information.
OFF
All incoming position requests are ignored.
Auto channel switch (“AUTO SWITCH”)
When a DSC call is received, it may include a request to change to
a specific channel for subsequent communications. If a channel
switch request is included, your options are:
• allow the radio to switch to the requested channel immediately
by pressing SELECT, or
• do nothing to allow the radio to automatically switch to the
requested channel after a delay of 10 seconds, or
• cancel the automatic switch and remain on the current channel
by pressing the X button.
However, automatic switching to a subsequent communications
channel on receipt of a DSC call might in some cases disrupt
important ongoing communications if the working channel
changes without the operator knowing.
