Sequential Tones Functions including revert
User Defined Tones
Encodes and decodes up to 40 tones, CCIR, ZVEI, DZVEI, EEA,
EIA or user-defined. Any of the tones may be extended.
Continuous, burst and single-step modes available. Up to two
frequency plans may be defined and stored within the
instrument for sequential tones.
Any of the standard tone frequency plans may be copied to the
user defined plans and modified.
Tone length 20 ms to 20 s.
Standard tone frequencies may be selected from a menu.
DTMF Generation and decoding of DTMF tones.
DCS Generation and decoding of Digitally Coded Squelch, DCS.
POCSAG Generation of POCSAG code CCIR No. 1 Rec 584. Bit rates from
400 to 4800 bit/s. Inversion available.
Audio Monitor Demodulated signals and audio signals may be monitored via the
internal loudspeaker and via the accessory socket output on
the front panel.
