FRONT PANEL PROGRAMMING (FPP) MODE (Bands 1 – 4)
One of the bands may have the capability to program channel information such as frequencies,
PL tones, modulation types, etc from the front panel. ‘FPP’ will show up as one of the soft menu
items at the bottom of the screen if this option has been ordered. When the FPP soft key is
pressed, you will be prompted for channel information. Wait until the cursor is flashing then press
‘OK’ for the next input or press ‘QUIT’ to finish and get out of the programming mode. All changes
up to that point will be saved. The prompts are as follows:
TX Frequency
Enter the desired transmit frequency using the numeric key pad. If the
frequency entered is not within band limits or not on proper channel
spacing, the frequency will automatically be changed to the closest valid
channel.
RX Frequency
Enter the desired receive frequency.
TX PL
Enter the desired transmit PL tone frequency. After the last digit is pressed
the radio will verify that it is a valid frequency and flash the first cursor
again. Press ‘OK’ at this time. The transceiver supports all standard PL
tones. (Also known as CTCSS tones) TXPL tones are generally used to
open repeaters or in talk groups where the receivers are squelch protected
by PL tones. Enter ‘000.0’ for no tone. PL tones are used by analog mode
only.
RX PL
Enter the desired receive PL tone frequency. Enter ‘000.0’ no tone – carrier
squelch operation.
TX DPL
Enter the desired DPL code. You can not have both a PL and a DPL at the
same time. The one that is entered last will turn the other off. A DPL of 000
means off. DPL codes are also known as DCS codes.
RX DPL
Enter the receive DPL code as above.
TX NAC
Enter the desired transmit P25 NAC code if using digital, otherwise just
press ‘OK’. The code is hexadecimal therefore the letters A to F could also
be used. Press the ‘A-F’ soft key to use buttons 1-6 as A-F. A NAC or
Network Access Code is used like PL tones but are only used by P25
(digital) mode. A value of 293 is considered to be the standard code for
open channel.
RX NAC
Enter the desired receive P25 NAC code as above.
RX TYPE
Select the receive mode using the UP and DN keys – Analog, digital or
mixed. The mixed mode will allow the receiver to decode analog and P25
digital signals as needed.
TX TYPE
This prompt will only come up if you selected mixed for RX. Select analog
or digital.
BANDWIDTH
Select 12.5, 20.0 or 25.0 kHz using the UP and DN keys. Bandwidth may
also be called ‘Channel Spacing’.
CHANNEL NAME
Use the UP and DN keys to scroll to the desired letter and press the NXT
soft key to get to the next character. Press ‘OK’ when done. There will be a
delay while the channel is saved, then the display will return to normal.
