Making a Call
The radio is capable of making a variety of calls,
including calls to individual radios, groups of radios
and calls to private and public telephone systems.
Before you can make a call the radio must be in the
IDLE STATE, i.e. a personality has been selected
and no call is in progress (see " Personality
Selection "). In the IDLE STATE the radio displays:
The 1200 series radios can make calls by using
Shortform Dialling , or Dedicated Calls . K8 radios
can also make calls using Manual Dialling .
Shortform Dialling
When the radio is in the IDLE STATE shortform
dialling may be used. This allows quick access to up
to 40 preprogrammed numbers of up to 14 digits (on
K4 radios, only the last 8 digits are displayed) using
the shortform dial position selector (16 & 17).
Depending on the way your radio is programmed,
the radio will display the alphanumeric alias, the
number to be dialled or the position in the list.
For example:
or
or
or
where 01 indicates position in Fixed Group list.
or
where BA 123 SERVICE is an Dynamic Group alpha alias.
or
where 01 indicates position in Dynamic Group list.
The call request is sent either by pressing the PTT
