T2020 Operator's Manual 15
For example:
You wish to call your BASE which monitors a channel called REGION2 and has the
Selcall code, 24624. The sequence of keystrokes, and the corresponding display
characters, " ", might look like this:
... "MARLEY6" (the last label entered)
[AB
C] ... "*" (unable to determine new label)
[A
BC] ... "**" (unable to determine new label)
[PRS
] ... "BASE" (new label identified)
... "24624" (channel REGION2 selected and Selcall code
transmitted)
... "REGION2" (channel for BAS
E displayed)
To Change the Selcall Status Code (Selcall Option Fitted)
If your radio is fitted with Selcall, you may also be able to choose from a number of
activity codes which will be sent with each call you make to indicate your present status.
Each code's description and number (0 to 99) is set when the radio is programmed.
Typical descriptions might be "AT LUNCH", "ENROUTE" and so on.
1 To enter the status mode press the key. How they are displayed by your radio
depends on which status display function is active (see the later section, To Alter
User Options).
2 If 'normal display' (STAT NRM) is active, the complete eight character word for the
currently selected status will be displayed. You may now scroll through the choices
by pressing the keys until you find one appropriate for your present
activity. Alternatively, if you know it, you may type the number for your new status
on the keypad. The new status description will appear in the display (you may have
to press first).
3 If 'fixed display' (STAT FIX) is active, your own status is displayed as a code at the
right of the display (along with the channel name which is truncated to six
characters). You may now scroll through the codes by pressing the and
keys. Again, if you know it, you may enter the number for your new status on the
keypad. The new status code will appear in the display (you may have to press
first).
4 The status code is sent when your radio acknowledges another user's call to you.
