Digital Select Calling (DSC)
Operation
Receiving a Group Call
When another station makes a Group call to the radio, the
Individual alarm sounds, the caller is identified on the LCD,
call information is placed in the Call Log, and the radio is
switched to the channel selected by the caller, similar to an
Individual call. Press any button to turn Off the alarm.
To Receive a Group Call:
1. Listen for the group voice message.
2. Press the Talk button and respond only if appropriate.
Sending a Position Request
Position Request mode enables a DSC radio to obtain the
position (latitude and longitude) of a station that has a GPS
device connected to the DSC radio at that station. In most
cases, a reply will be forthcoming. If for some reason, your
request is not acknowledged in five (5) minutes, the user
will be prompted to Resend the request or exit the menu.
To Request the Position of Another Station:
1. In Standby mode, select a channel on which you want to
communicate.
2. Press the Enter button to enter the Call Setup menu.
3. Scroll to POS RQST on the menu.
4. Press the Enter button to enter the POS RQST menu. This
will link you to the Individual Directory for you to make a
position request to one of your prior programmed
Individual Directory members.
5. Scroll to the name of the station whose position you want
to request.
6. Press the Enter button.
Your radio will send the Position Request and there will be
one (1) of three (3) possible responses:
■ You will receive the position.
■ You will receive a no position data response, meaning
the station you queried is not connected to a GPS
device and cannot send its position.
■ You will receive a no reply response, meaning the
operator of that station has chosen not to reply to your
request.
