Personality Programming (Conventional Analog FM Personalities)
CONVENTIONAL PERSONALITY – Displayed by pressing F4 ! F6 ! F3 from the Main Menu. All the
aspects of any given channel are assigned to a personality numbered 1 through 255. The following three sections
will show similar screen shots for each example mentioned above.
Personality Number – This is the sequential number of all personalities programmed into the radio. There are 255
personalities available.
Receive Only – This makes the personality a RECEIVE ONLY channel. This is useful for channels like National
Weather and ATIS frequencies. Normally this will be DISABLED except on those special channels mentioned
above.
Direct / Talkaround – This selection is ONLY available if a pair of frequencies is entered below signifying that this
is a repeater frequency. It controls whether or not this personality may be placed into DIRECT or Talkaround mode.
Since the C-5000 is capable of actuating this feature, ALL repeater personalities should have this feature
ENABLED.
Time Out Timer – There are 4 available Transmit Time-Out Timers – when transmitting continuously beyond the
time specified, the transmit function stops and the user hears a bonk in the speaker. Leave this set to 1-INFINITE.
