Selections
The following table describes each of the selections within the TransAdapt/
Transcall menu.
Transmitting
a Call
When placing a TransAdapt call, the PRC1099A can be on a fixed channel or
in scan mode. On a fixed channel, TransAdapt uses a single-channel calling
system. In scan mode, the first usable frequency is located, not the best. When
placing a Transcall call, the PRC1099A must be in scan mode before a call is
initiated and the best frequency is located.
To call a particular station, the transmitting station must know the call code of
the receiving station.
1. Toggle the
DIGIT knob until the CALL icon flashes.
2. Press
WHIP TUNE to access the Call menu.
3. Toggle the TUNE knob to scroll to the called station’s call code number.
(Scroll to 000 to transmit an All Call.)
4. Press
WHIP TUNE to execute the call. The radio transmits an acquisition
call on each channel while in the scan mode. In stationary mode, the radio
transmits several acquisition calls on the selected channel.
If a reply from the called station is received, a fast call alarm is heard in
the handset and CALL is displayed on both transceivers.
Selection Description
RX ADD Rx Address. This is a call code that other stations use to
contact your transceiver.
1. Toggle the TUNE knob to display the code (001 to 255)
that identifies your radio. An All Call is identified as
000.
2. Press WHIP TUNE to save the code.
BER NUM Bit Error Rate Number. For selecting the minimum bit error
rate the radio allows for a valid link.
1. Toggle the TUNE knob to change the BER (default set-
ting is 70).
2. Press WHIP TUNE to save the setting.
CALL SEL Call Select. For selecting the type of call to make.
TransAdapt determines the first usable or available channel,
not the best quality. This type of call is faster than Transcall
which determines the best channel on which to transmit after
polling each channel for quality.
1. Toggle the TUNE knob to select TACL (TransAdapt) or
TCCL (Transcall).
2. Press WHIP TUNE to save the setting.
