System Lockout Help
This parameter can only be set when "Edit/Scan information/Scan Type" 
is set to "Fix System Scan" and a programmable switch is set to 
"Scan".

This parameter specifies whether a system is included in a system 
scan.  Only systems for which "System Lockout" is set to "No" are 
scanned.  The delete mark (">") appears for systems with "System 
Lockout" set to "Yes".  The delete mark blinks while scanning if one 
or more systems are locked out.

Yes    : Delete the system from the system scan routine.
No     : Add the system into the system scan routine.
Default: No

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].

Note:  If "Scan Del/Add" is assigned to a programmable switch, that 
       switch can also change this setting.
Scan List Help
This parameter can only be set when "Edit/Scan information/Scan Type" 
is set to "List Type System Scan" and a programmable switch is set to
"Scan".

This parameter sets the scan list for each system when the transceiver 
performs a List Type System Scan.

1. Set "Scan List" to "Yes" with [SPACE BAR] or [F2], then press 
   [F10].  The Scan List window of this system opens.
   The Scan List window does not open when [F10] is pressed if "Scan 
   List" is set to "No".
2. Use the arrow keys to highlight the system status you desire to 
   change.
3. Use [SPACE BAR] or [F2] to set a system to be included in the Scan 
   List for this system.  "***" appears for systems with the "System 
   Format" set to "Not Used".  These systems cannot be set.

When you press [Scan] to start scanning, a group scan is performed in 
each system with "Yes" set in the "System Scan List" of the system 
that started the scan.

Yes    : Allows you to select systems to be scanned. Press [F10] to 
         enter the "System Scan List" menu.  Press [F2] or [SPACE BAR]
         to Enable/Disable (Yes/No) the highlighted system in the scan
         list.

Default: No

Note 1 :The "System Scan List" does not change even if the Revert 
        system/group is changed.
Note 2 :If "Scan Del/Add" is assigned to a programmable switch, that 
        switch can also change this setting.

Scan Weight Help
This parameter can only be set when a programmable switch is set to 
"Scan".

Scan Weight is the maximum time the transceiver waits and receives on 
the Revert system "home" channel, checking for the ID if a carrier is 
present.
As you increase the Scan Weight, the ID check time on the Revert 
system "home" channel increases.  One step is approximately 500 ms.

Range  : 1 to 8 (3 message per increment)
Default: 1

Press [F2] or [SPACE BAR] to increase selection or type in the desired 
number with the keyboard then press [Enter].

Note   : When the revert system changes, the set Scan Weight for the 
         new Revert system is used.
Auto TEL Search Help
This function allows the telephone repeater to be automatically 
searched and a Link established by pressing [Auto TEL].  The maximum 
search time is 60 seconds.

Yes    : Enable the Automatic Telephone Search function for this 
         system.
No     : Disable the Automatic Telephone Search function for this 
         system. (Manual telephone search)
Default: No

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].

Note   : The Revert system is searched even if "No" is selected.
TA Busy Channel Lockout Help
This parameter specifies whether Busy Channel Lockout is used for 
groups with "Talk Around" set to "Yes".  Busy Channel Lockout 
prohibits transmission when the channel is being used.

Yes    : Enable the TA Busy Channel Lockout function.
No     : Disable the TA Busy Channel Lockout function.
Default: No

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],

(TK-280/380/780/880 only)

Wide   : Wide Bandwidth.
Narrow : Narrow Bandwidth.
Default: Wide

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].
Fixed ID Help
Fixed ID refers to an ID with high reception priority.
If a higher priority ID is detected while the transceiver is receiving 
an ID with a lower priority, reception of the higher priority starts 
in accordance with priority ID operation (Trunk Out, etc.).
1st and 2nd priority ID's can be programmed into each system.
The transceiver decodes these ID's individually while receiving the 
system.

1st    : First priority receive ID.
2nd    : Second priority receive ID.

Range:  1 to 250 (steps of 1)

Type the desired ID data with the keyboard, then press [Enter].

Note 1 : When an RIC ID is being received, reception continues 
        regardless of priority.

Note 2 : Priority does not operate during Trunkout. (This is because 
         the only information sent to the Trunkout destination is the 
         Repeater's Home ID.)
Fixed Call Indicator Help
This function causes "CAL" to appear when a call with the 1st and/or 
2nd fixed ID is received.  "CAL" disappears when the system or group 
is changed or data is transmitted.

Yes    : Enable the Fixed Call Indicator function
No     : Disable the Fixed Call Indicator function
Default: No

Note   : "CAL" indicator cannot be set unless a fixed ID is set.

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].

Fixed Horn Alert Help
This function is only for Mobile transceivers.
Enables a Horn Alert for the 1st and/or 2nd fixed IDs.

Yes    : Horn alert active upon decode including option signaling if 
         programmed without TEL ID.
No     : Horn alert is disabled.
Default: No

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].


Fixed Opt Signalling Help
If you select the "DTMF" or "MSK", enable Option Signalling for the 
1st and/or 2nd fixed ID's. 
Even if the 1st and/or 2nd fixed ID matches, Squelch remains muted 
while the station waits for reception of Option Signalling. 
When Option Signalling matches, Squelch unmutes 
(see "Signalling" AND/OR ).

DTMF   : Enable the Option Signalling function (DTMF).
MSK    : Enable the Option Signalling function (MSK).
None   : Disable the Option Signalling function.
         Squelch unmutes when the 1st and/or 2nd fixed ID matches.
Default: None

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2]

Note:  "Opt Signalling" cannot be set unless a fixed ID is set.
 Block ID's Telephone Help
Telephone Interconnect block ID's.
A group with an ID set between "Start" and "Stop" (available telephone 
interconnect numbers) uses TEL mode.  In TEL mode, after establishing 
a link with a repeater (sending or receiving a call to/from a 
repeater), press the PTT switch to transmit and release the PTT switch 
to receive.  Press [#] or [TEL Disconnect] to disconnect the link.

Range:  1 to 250 (steps of 1)

Type the desired ID data with the keyboard, then press [Enter].
 Block ID's TX Inhibit Help
After the transceiver receives an ID number between "Start" and 
"Stop", the transceiver enters TX Inhibit mode and the TX Inhibit 
timer starts counting.  If you press the PTT switch while the TX 
Inhibit timer is counting, the "Busy Tone" sounds, and "-BUSY-" 
appears on the transceiver display; transmission is prohibited.  
After the TX Inhibit Time expires, the transceiver exits TX 
Inhibit mode.

Range : 1 to 250 (steps of 1)

Type the desired ID data with the keyboard, then press [Enter].

Note 1: Changing the system/group or turning Scan On/Off  resets the 
        TX Inhibit timer.

Note 2: When receiving a TX Inhibit Block ID (Scan temporarily 
        halted), the transceiver enters the TX Inhibit mode.  When 
        Scan resumes, the transceiver resets the TX Inhibit timer and 
        exits the TX Inhibit mode.

Note 3: If "Optional features/Clear to Talk" is set to "Yes", and you 
        press the PTT switch while no repeater is available, the 
        transceiver will not output a "Busy" tone.  The transceiver, 
        however, will output a "Busy" tone when accessing a RIC 
        repeater.
 Block ID's Decode Help
Any received ID between "Start" and "Stop" will be decoded.  When the 
transceiver receives an ID code between "Start" and "Stop", the 
display does not change from the current status (because Block Decode 
has lowest Priority); however, received speech is unmuted.  While 
scanning, the Revert group of the system in which scanning stops is 
displayed.

Range : 1 to 250 (steps of 1)

Type the desired ID data with the keyboard, then press [Enter].

Note  : If a call is received from a higher priority LTR ID, reception 
       immediately changes to the group with the higher priority ID.
Data System/Group Help
The radio jumps to and transmits on Data System/Group when Data PTT
is activated by grounding both DTC and PTT of the accessory connector.
Also, it is used when FleetSync Data transmission is made. (See
"FleetSync - Status/Short message on Data Group")

Select a system/group using the right- or left-arrow key, or by 
directly entering the desired system/group number.

Data Delay Time Help
This parameter selects the period of delay time from when the 
transceiver can start to transmit the Encode data.
The transceiver will not get reliable handshake if this parameter
is not an appropriate value for that repeater system.

Range  : 0 to 100 ms (1 ms. steps)
Default: 15 ms.

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].
Encode ID Help
The Encode ID is a verification signal modulated when the transceiver 
calls a remote station.  The remote station compares this ID with its 
own station Decode ID and if a match occurs a call can be made.  If 
the ID matches and is a RIC ID, a telephone line link is established. 
After checking for a dial tone, the calling station can send DTMF 
and make a call.

Range  : 1 to 250 (steps of 1)

Type the desired ID data with the keyboard, then press [Enter].
Decode ID Help
The Decode ID is a verification signal used when the transceiver is 
called by a remote station.  The transceiver compares the ID sent from
a remote station with the Decode ID. If the ID received matches the 
transceiver Decode ID, the transceiver unmutes (see "Dtmf/Decode 
Type").

Range  : 1 to 250 (steps of 1)

Type the desired ID data with the keyboard, then press [Enter].
Group Name Help
Enter up to 10 alphanumeric characters to name each group.
The codes that can be entered are: 
 (space) ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : ; < = > 
 ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z 
 a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z.
The group name set here is displayed on the transceiver when 
"Optional features/Display Character" is set to "Group Name". 
It is also displayed when [Display Character] is pressed and 
system#/group# is toggled to Group Name.  

Refer to "System Name Text Size" in the Optional features screen.
Group Name Text Size becomes (10 - System Name Text Size) of the
transceiver display.

TX Power Help
This function sets the transceiver RF Power.
(TK-280/380/780/880/480/481 only)

High   : RF Power High
Low    : RF Power Low
Default: High

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].
Call Indicator Help
This function causes "CAL" to blink when a call is received.
In an LTR system, if both "Call = Yes" and Fixed ID are received, 
"CAL" appears. If any other ID is received, "CAL" blinks.  "CAL" is 
displayed until a key operation is performed.  If a call with a "Call 
= Yes" group is received while scanning, scanning stops and "CAL" 
appears.  "CAL" is still displayed even after the Drop Out Delay Time 
has elapsed and scanning restarts.  "CAL" is displayed until a key 
operation is performed.

Yes    : Call indicator will blink after decoding ID.
         "CAL" will appear whenever the fixed ID matches, depending on
         the status of the fixed call information.
No     : Disable the call indicator
Default: No

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].

Note   : In an LTR system, if "Call = Yes" and an ID other than the 
         Fixed ID is received, "CAL" blinks. If "Call = Yes" and
         the Fixed ID are then received, the icon is still displayed 
         but stops blinking. However, when the opposite occurs (the 
         Fixed ID is received and then an ID other than the Fixed ID),
         "CAL" appears but does not start blinking.
Horn Alert Help
This function is only for Mobile transceivers.
Enables/disables Horn Alert function for each group.

Yes    : Horn alert active upon decode including option signaling 
         if programmed without TEL ID.
No     : Horn alert is disabled.
Default: No

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].
Option Signalling Help
Allows the use of DTMF or MSK(Own Fleet-Own ID) signals to call
individual stations.

DTMF   : Enable the Option Signalling function. When the group ID
         matches, Squelch remains muted while the station waits for
         reception of Option Signalling (DTMF). When Option Signalling
         (DTMF) matches, Squelch unmutes (see "Signalling" AND/OR ).
         When the Option Signalling selected the "AND" operation,
         the Option Signalling will enter the matched condition
         after the radio transmit.
MSK    : Enable the Option Signalling function. When the group ID
         matches, Squelch remains muted while the station waits for
         reception of Option Signalling (MSK). When Option Signalling
         (MSK) matches, Squelch unmutes (see "Signalling" AND/OR ).
None   : Disable the Option Signalling function. When the group ID
         matches, Squelch unmutes.
Default: None

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].

Group Lockout Help
This parameter specifies whether a group is included in a group scan.
The group scan function is always active; if you want to invalidate 
this function, set "Group-Lockout" to "Yes" for all groups.
While the speaker is muted, when an ID is received in an LTR system, 
the ID is compared with the IDs in groups with "Group-Lockout" set to 
"No".
If a match is found, the display changes to the receiving group and 
Squelch unmutes. While unmuted (following a matched ID), if an ID is 
received that has a higher priority than the current ID, reception 
immediately switches to the group with the higher priority ID. When 
reception is complete, the display does not change until the next call
is received from a group other than the one displayed. However, the 
Drop Out Delay Time is still active, and group scan restarts when the 
count ends.

Yes    : Deletes group from group scan list
No     : Adds group to group scan list
Default: No

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].

Note   : There is no display that indicates "Group-Lockout" is set to 
         "Yes".
Transpond Help
This function allows the transceiver to respond after an ID has been 
matched. TX ID and EOT are sent in response.
The Delay time until the transceiver Transponds (after an ID has been 
matched) can be specified in the "Edit/Optional features/Transpond 
Delay Time" parameter.

Yes    : Enable the Transpond function
No     : Disable the Transpond function
Default: No

Note   : If the TX Inhibit time does not expire, the transceiver does
         not transpond.

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].
Talk Around Help
When the transceiver is operating via a Repeater, this function allows 
the transceiver to communicate temporarily with another transceiver 
without using the Repeater.  A transceiver in this status uses the 
receive frequency for transmission.

Yes    : "TA" appears and data is transmitted on the receive 
         frequency.
         The LTR ID is encoded using the Encode ID set in "EncID".
No     : Disable the Talk Around function
Default: No

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].

Compander Help
This function reduces the noise on the communication channel used by 
the transceiver and improves reception.

Yes    : Enable the Compander function
No     : Disable the Compander function
Default: No

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].

Note   : The radio can use the compander feature regardless the 
         channel bandwidth with the Version 2.0 radio.

Scrambler Help
This parameter can only be used when a scrambler unit is installed in 
the transceiver.

This function activates a scrambler unit that renders the contents of 
your communications intelligible only to those who are using the same 
scrambler unit.
Set the scrambler code (1 to 4 or 16) in this parameter. When the 
code is set, an underscore ("_") appears at the extreme right of the 
transceiver display.
If you do not wish to use the scrambler function, set to "Off" 
(underscore is not displayed). 

Range  : off, 1 to 16 (steps of 1) (Mobile)
         off, 1 to 4  (steps of 1) (Portable)
Default: off

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2], or by directly entering a value.

Home Group Help
The transceiver jumps to a programmed Home Group by pressing the
Home Group function key instead of the Group up/down. 
Set the Home Group function to one of the programmable keys in the 
Key Assignment screen, and select a Home group before writing to 
the transceiver or saving to the database.

PTT ID Help
PTT ID provides a DTMF ANI or MSK ANI to be sent with every PTT
(Beginning of Transmit, End of Transmit, or Both).
Programmable per group On/Off in the group Info. screen - PTT ID
column. If you select the MSK PTT ID, the selection will change to
Own/Sel/Off. (Version 2.0 radio only)
Either DTMF or MSK can be selected for PTT ID in the Optional Feature 
screen.
For DTMF PTT ID, either BOT ID or EOT ID must be programmed, in the 
Optional Feature for PTT ID to work.

For MSK PTT ID, both Fleet and ID must be programmed in the FleetSync 
screen.
When selecting [Own] for MSK PTT ID, the radio transmits the radio's 
identification only.
When selecting [Sel] for MSK PTT ID, the radio calls the specific 
Fleet User the same as Selective call. The Specific ID is the 
first ID of the ID list.

Data Help
Enables/disables data communication.

Yes: The group is used for data communication. Microphone and
     received audio are always muted. If PTT is pressed, voice
     transmission will be made on the first data-disabled group
     (Data=No) of the system. If no data-disabled group exists in
     the system, voice transmission will be made on the first
     data-disabled system/group. Option Signaling function is
     automatically disabled except for DBD and CALL indicator.

No:  The group is used for voice communication.
     Data transmission is made on the maximum numbered data-enabled 
     group (Data=Yes) of the system. If no data-enabled group
     exists in the system, data transmission will be made on
     Data System/Group. Then the radio reverts back to
     the previous group.

Default: No

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].
Area Code Help
In cases where the same frequencies or IDs are assigned in a 
neighboring system, an Area Code is a partitioned bit that is useful 
in preventing improper operation.
In some cases, errors or mixed signals can occur during the reception 
of data from another remotely connected LTR system. Problems of this 
type can be prevented by using this feature to assign Area Code = 0 
to one system and Area Code = 1 to the other. Normally, Area Code = 0 
is used.

Range  : 0 or 1
Default: 0

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],

Call Indicator Help
This function causes "CAL" to blink when a call is a received.
In a Conventional system, if "Call = Yes" and Conventional 
Priority group is received, "CAL" appears. If any other group is 
received, "CAL" blinks.  "CAL" is displayed until a key operation is 
performed.
If a call with a "Call = Yes" group is received while scanning, 
scanning stops and "CAL" appears.  "CAL" is still displayed even 
after the Drop Out Delay Time has elapsed and scanning restarts.  
"CAL" is displayed until a key operation is performed.

Yes    : Call indicator will blink after receiving a signal.  Call 
         indicator will appear whenever a Priority group is received.
No     : Disable the Call indicator function.
Default: No

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].

Note  : In a Conventional system, if "Call = Yes" and a group other 
        than a Conventional Priority group is received, "CAL" blinks. 
        If "Call = Yes" and a Priority group is received, "CAL" is 
        still displayed but stops blinking. 
        However, when the opposite occurs (the Conventional Priority 
        group is received and then a group other than the Conventional
        Priority group), "CAL" appears but does not start blinking.

Option Signalling Help
Allows the use of DTMF or MSK(Own Fleet-Own ID) signals to call
individual stations.

DTMF   : Enable the Option Signalling function. When the group ID
         matches, Squelch remains muted while the station waits for
         reception of Option Signalling (DTMF). When Option Signalling
         (DTMF) matches, Squelch unmutes (see "Signalling" AND/OR ).
         When the Option Signalling selected the "AND" operation,
         the Option Signalling will enter the matched condition
         after the radio transmit.
MSK    : Enable the Option Signalling function. When the group ID
         matches, Squelch remains muted while the station waits for
         reception of Option Signalling (MSK). When Option Signalling
         (MSK) matches, Squelch unmutes (see "Signalling" AND/OR ).
None   : Disable the Option Signalling function. When the group ID
         matches, Squelch unmutes.
Default: None

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].


Busy Channel Lockout Help
This selection prevents the radio transmission while the channel is 
in the following busy conditions.
If the Clear to Talk function is set to "No", and press the PTT
switch during no repeater is available, the transceiver emits the
Busy Tone.

Carrier Only: 
 The radio will not transmit while detecting the carrier squelch.
 Alternately, the radio can transmit only when the channel is clear.
 (Version 2.0 radio only)

QT/DQT Tone:
 The radio will not transmit while detecting the carrier squelch with 
 wrong QT/DQT code.
 Alternately, the radio can transmit either condition the channel is 
 clear or receives the QT/DQT code matches the selected channel. 

Option Signalling:
 The radio can transmit either condition when the channel is clear or
 receives the Option Signalling code matches the selected channel.
 (Version 2.0 radio only)

No:
 Disable the Busy Channel Lockout function

Default : No

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].

Horn Alert Help
This function is only for Mobile transceivers.

Default : No

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].
Group Lockout Help
This parameter specifies whether a group is included in a group scan.
While Squelch is muted, when a group is received in a Conventional 
system, the display changes to the receiving group and Squelch 
unmutes. If Priority is set in the system and the receiving group does 
not have priority, Look Back is performed. This operation is performed 
according to the times specified in Look Back A and B. 
If data is received from a Priority group, reception immediately 
switches to the Priority group.
During Priority group reception ("P" displayed), Look Back is not 
performed. In a group scan that is not part of a system scan, the 
display does not change once it has switched to the called group, 
until the Drop Out Delay Time has elapsed.
When the delay time has elapsed, the display changes to the new Revert 
group display and group scan restarts.  If the Revert group and the 
displayed group match, the display does not change.

Yes    : Deletes group ID from group scan list
No     : Adds group ID to group scan list
Default: Yes

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].

Note 1 : There is no display that indicates "Group-Lockout" is set to
         "Yes".

Note 2 : If Priority group is set, that group is scanned even if 
         "Group-Lockout" is set to "Yes".
TX Inhibit Help
This function inhibits transmission in a group.  Because it is not 
possible to set receive only in a 800/900MHz band Conventional system, 
this function inhibits transmission.

Yes:  Transmit inhibit group (receive only group).
No:   Transmit/Receive
Default:  No

Press [F2] or [SPACE BAR] to change setting.

Talk Around Help
When the transceiver is operating via a Repeater, this function allows 
the transceiver to communicate temporarily with another transceiver 
without using the Repeater.  A transceiver in this status uses the 
receive frequency for transmission.

Yes    : "TA" appears and data is transmitted on the receive 
         frequency.
         The LTR ID is encoded using the Encode ID set in "EncID".
No     : Disable the Talk Around function
Default: No

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].

Compander Help
This function reduces the noise on the communications channel used by 
the transceiver and improves reception.

Yes    : Enable the Compander function
No     : Disable the Compander function
Default: No

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].

Note   : The radio can use the compander feature regardless the 
         channel bandwidth with the Version 2.0 radio.

Scrambler Help
This parameter can only be used when a scrambler unit is installed in 
the transceiver.

This function activates a scrambler unit that renders the contents of 
your communications intelligible only to those who are using the same 
scrambler unit.
Set the scrambler code (1 to 4 or 16) in this parameter. When the code
is set, an underscore ("_") appears at the extreme right of the 
transceiver display.
If you do not wish to use the scrambler function, set to "Off" 
(underscore is not displayed).  

Range  : off, 1 to 16 (steps of 1) (Mobile)
         off, 1 to 4  (steps of 1) (Portable)
Default: off

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2], or by directly entering a value.
Priority Group Help
Use this parameter to specify groups to be given priority.
When [Scan] is pressed, "-SCAN-" and "SCN" appear, refer to "Revert
Grp Display".
In a Conventional system, if a group scan (including group scan during 
a system scan) temporarily stops (receiving) in a group that does not 
have Priority, a Look Back is performed to the Priority group.  Look 
Back is performed according to the Look Back Time A and B settings.
If a call is received on the Priority group, reception immediately 
switches to the Priority group.  Look Back is not performed during 
Priority group reception ("P" displayed).
A star "*" appears on the left hand side of the System Group window at
the assigned Priority group.

Press [F2] or [SPACE BAR] to increase selection or enter desired group
number with the keyboard then press [Enter].

Note 1: Look Back is not performed during LTR system/group reception.

Note 2: The Priority groups are scanned even if "GrpLout" is set to 
        "Yes".

Note 3: A Priority group is only valid in its own system. 
        Consequently, Priority operations such as Look Back are 
        performed only when a Priority group is set in the system in 
        which Scan stops.
Home Group Help
The transceiver jumps to a programmed Home Group by pressing the
Home Group function key instead of the group up/down. 
Set the Home Group function to one of the programmable keys in 
the Key Assignment screen, and select a Home group before writing to 
the transceiver or saving to the database.

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].

PTT ID Help
PTT ID provides a DTMF ANI or MSK ANI to be sent with every PTT
(Beginning of Transmit, End of Transmit, or Both).
Programmable per group On/Off in the group Info. screen - PTT ID
column. If you select the MSK PTT ID, the selection will change to 
Own/Sel/Off. (Version 2.0 radio only)
Either DTMF or MSK can be selected for PTT ID in the Optional
Feature screen.
For DTMF PTT ID, either BOT ID or EOT ID must be programmed, in the 
Optional Feature for PTT ID to work.

For MSK PTT ID, both Fleet and ID must be programmed in the
FleetSync screen.
When selecting [Own] for MSK PTT ID, the radio transmits the radio's
identification only.
When selecting [Sel] for MSK PTT ID, the radio calls the specific
Fleet User the same as Selective call. The Specific ID is the first 
ID of the ID list.

Data Help
Enables/disables data communication.

Yes: The group is used for data communication. Microphone and
     received audio are always muted. If PTT is pressed, voice
     transmission will be made on the first data-disabled group
     (Data=No) of the system. If no data-disabled group exists in
     the system, voice transmission will be made on the first
     data-disabled system/group. Option Signaling function is
     automatically disabled except for DBD and CALL indicator.

No:  The group is used for voice communication.
     Data transmission is made on the maximum numbered data-enabled
     group (Data=Yes) of the system. If no data-enabled group
     exists in the system, data transmission will be made on
     Data System/Group. Then the radio reverts back to
     the previous group.

Default: No

Select the desired value by pressing [SPACE BAR], [Shift]+[SPACE BAR],
[F2], or [Shift]+[F2].
