Advanced User Operations
Most of the special features detailed below must be enabled during programming of the T2020
II
.
Consult your Tait dealer to find out which of these features have been enabled in your radio.
Alphanumeric Entry Mode
The T2020
II
contains a number of memory locations which are able to be accessed with an
alphanumeric entry or label, from the keypad. The alphanumeric label may be the same as a
channel name or it may be a quite separate word, persons name or acronym which helps you
find the appropriate memory location. Each location contains information which selects a
channel scan group, makes a Selcall or DTMF call or selects a new Selcall status code.
Select a memory location by its alphanumeric label, as follows:
1. Press the
Alphanumeric
(
) key to enter Alphanumeric mode.
2. Locate the desired label by using the
Up
and
Down
(
/
) keys to scroll through
the list until the label is displayed. Alternatively, enter the label associated with the party
you want, using the keypad.
A star appears in the display as you type each character, until you have entered enough
for the radio to recognise the label. When it does, it displays the label in full. Pressing
the
Enter
key causes any instructions (channel selection, send call, and so on) con-
tained in the memory location to be carried out.
3. Press the
Channel
(
Ch
) key and the display changes from the label to the channel
name. (The radio may be programmed to return to the channel name display after a short
while, anyway.)
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
that appear, is as follows:
Repeater Talkaround
Repeater Talkaround is a programmable option that allows your T2020
II
to bypass the re-
peater, and transmit and receive calls directly on the repeater transmit frequency. This feature
can be used, for example, when you are out of range of the repeater.
1. Press the
Channel
(
Ch
) key for longer than 1 second.
The
CHANNEL
indicator should now be flashing, indicating that the T2020
II
is now in
Repeater Talkaround mode.
2. Select the appropriate channel and proceed with your call in the usual manner.
