OVERVIEW
Similar to DTSS, Page uses DTMF codes to address
a single station or a group of stations. Page is useful
when waiting to receive a call from a specific station.
A common Group Page code and individual Station
codes should be agreed on in advance. You can
select codes from the range 000 to 999 inclusive.
Unlike DTSS, Page offers the added benefit of
identifying who called you. The calling station's code
appears on the target transceiver's display. If called
with an individual Station code, that station's code
appears; if called with a Group code, the Group code
appears. This characteristic of Page helps reduce the
activity level on a frequency when operators are
temporarily absent from their stations. There is no
longer a need for repeated calls when your target
station is not listening. On return to his or her
operating position, their transceiver display will show
your Station code. They will know immediately that
you called.
Page can only be activated when using FM mode.
STORING PAGE CODES
To save the desired Page codes, use the following
procedure. If DTMF audio from other equipment is
picked up by your microphone while you are entering
digits, digits corresponding to the interfering DTMF
audio may be entered instead of the digits entered on
your keypad.
1 Press [F], [REV] to activate Code Select.
2 Turn the Alternate Tuning control to select Menu
No. 01.
• "P NNN" appears where "NNN" is the 3-digit
code stored in Page memory A. The first digit
of the code is blinking. "P------- " indicates no
codes have been stored previously.
