GME TX3345 - Manual (Page 14)

Your TX3345 will allow you to store up to ten (10) most
frequently called SelCall numbers, with each number being
labelled for easy identification.
SELCALL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (IDENT)
Your radio is factory programmed with its own unique
SelCall Identification Number (Ident). This number identifies
your radio from others. Your radio’s own SelCall Ident
will be displayed for a few seconds in the lower left of the
channel display when you first turn your radio on. You will
need to make this Ident known to others who may need to
call you using SelCall.
NOTE: Although your radio is factory-programmed with a
unique SelCall Ident, you can change your Ident to another
number if required (see SelCall Memories on next page).
SELCALL IDENT LABELS
When storing SelCall Idents, you can add labels to each
one to make it easier to identify whose Ident you are
recalling. In addition, if an incoming SelCall matches one
of your stored Idents, the label can be displayed instead
of the Ident. To add or display labels, your radio must be
in the ALPHA mode. To switch between ALPHA mode and
Numeric Mode, briefly press the
MENU
F
key followed by the
SQL
ALPHA
key. ‘ALPHA’ or ‘NUMER’ will be displayed briefly to
the lower left of the channel display to indicate the selected
mode.
THE QUIET MODE
Your radio can be set to monitor signals on a busy channel
but remain quiet unless it receives its own SelCall Ident.
In this way, you won’t be disturbed unless someone calls
you. When your SelCall Ident is received, the Quiet mode
is deactivated and an alarm sounds to alert you to the call.
You can then converse normally on the channel. To use the
Quiet mode, refer to the Quiet mode section further below.
Note that activating the Quiet mode is not mandatory for
SelCall operation. You can still use SelCall on any channel
whether the Quiet mode is set or not.
TIP: The Quiet mode overrides the normal Squelch system
to ensure that the radio remains quiet even when the
channel is busy. When Quiet mode is set, you may see the
icon appear on the display indicating the channel is
being used, however, nothing will be heard in the speaker
unless someone transmits your SelCall Ident. Quiet mode
can be applied to individual channels so that some channels
remain quiet while others are open to all incoming signals.
USING SELCALL
NOTE: The ACMA requires that cumulative SelCall
transmissions should not exceed 3 seconds in any 60
second period. To meet this requirement with your TX3345
you should not send any more that 3 SelCall transmissions
per minute.
