Radphone User Guide and Radphone Direct Dial User
Guide.
Transmitting a Telstra beacon call
Beacon calls check signal conditions between your
transceiver and the selected Telstra station.
To beacon call Telstra you can either:
• use the station’s selcall address (ID number) on a
preferred selcall channel using the
B'con/0
button (see
Chapter 4, Selective beacon call), or
• use the station’s beacon address (ID number) on a
preferred selcall channel and use the
Call
button (see
Chapter 4, Selcall).
The first method is recommended as once the optimum
channel has been determined, the address remains selected
for use in calling.
You should always refer to the appropriate Telstra
publication to obtain the correct selcall or beacon address and
user information.
The preferred selcall channel is marked ‘S’ in the Telstra
station channel frequency listing.
Radphone Direct Dial (RDD) telcall
When you apply to be an RDD user, Telstra asks for your
transceiver ID. To display this 14 character, alphanumeric
code, see Chapter 3, Using View All Settings mode. Telstra
provides you with an address for you to use as your address
when sending RDD telcalls and a PIN (a code number of up
to six digits). You need to set up both of these in your
transceiver.
