SELCALL (Selective Calling)
In addition to tone squelch operation for silent stand-by, Sel-
Call operation is available. In tone squelch operation, there
are 155 tone/code options when making a call. SelCall offers
a much more versatile 100,000 options when using 5-tone.
Other options available in SelCall are the ability to call an-
other unit or group operating on the same channel, as well
as station code/name information, status messages, answer
back functionality and auto scan start. These, and many more
can be set up via dealer programming.
NOTE: Channels 5 and 35 are used for emergency and
channels 22 and 23 are used for data channels, meaning
SelCall is not available on these channels. SelCall trans-
mission is restricted to a total of 3 seconds. If trying to
transmit longer than 3 seconds, “N/A” is displayed (when
is pushed) or an error beep is emitted. (when [PTT] is
pushed)
