If your employer has a dispatch system that requires your radio to identify via ANI, please see
Chapter 12, Automatic Number Identification for detailed instructions on how to set that up on
your radio.
To find out what other channels and features needed, please contact your employer.
Amateur Radio Setup
In contrast with Commercial radio operators, who often need very specific requirements to be
compatible with a very specific radio implementation, Amateur radio operators tend to need the
broadest possible settings in order to be compatible with as many systems as possible. This
basically implies turning all the fancy features that you typically might need for a commercial
setup off.
In a typical Amateur radio setup the following settings would be recommended:
• Set bandwidth to Wide (menu item 5).
• Turn DCS and CTCSS off (menu items 10 through 13).
• Turn ANI, DTMFST, S-CODE, PTT-ID off and PTT-LT to 0ms (menu items 15 through 17
and 19 through 20).
• Turn off Squelch Tail Elimination (STE) features (menu items 35 through 37).
