would prefer to have two separate Open Scan
modes. Alternatively you may have applications
where you prefer to have two Group Scan modes
with different Scan groups in each.
Your TX4600 can be Dealer programmed to
convert the Group Scan mode into a second
Open Scan mode and vice versa. If you would
prefer to have two Group Scan or two Open Scan
modes, you should contact your GME Dealer to
arrange for this feature to be enabled (when
using two Group Scan modes the Priority channel
will be the same channel for both scan groups).
When the second Open or Group Scan mode is
enabled, the resulting two Scan modes become
Scan 1 and Scan 2. To select the required scan
mode, refer to the MENU settings on page 21.
When enabled, the two Scan modes will be
identical in operation. To program and operate
each, refer to the Open Scan/Group Scan sections
above.
NOTE: Enabling or disabling the second Open
or Group Scan mode is not a user selectable
option. Once enabled by your dealer, the changed
Scan mode becomes a permanent part of the
TX4600’s features and replaces the standard
Scan selection. If you find later that you need the
original Group or Open Scan function re-enabled,
you will need to return your TX4600 to your
dealer for re-programming.
SELECTIVE CALLING
OVERVIEW
Your TX4600 has a Selective Calling system
known as SelCall that operates like a telephone.
Your radio is pre-programmed with its own
unique SelCall Identification number. If this
number is called by another radio, your TX4600
will beep to alert you. If you do not want to hear
any other activity while waiting on a channel, you
can select the QUIET mode. This will force the
radio to remain quiet to all incoming signals until
your SelCall number is called.
Your TX4600 will allow you to store up to ten of
your most frequently called SelCall numbers in
memory and each number can be labelled with a
5-letter name for easy identification.
SELCALL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Your TX4600 is factory programmed with its own
unique SelCall Identification Number (Ident).
This number identifies your radio from others in
your area. Your radio’s own SelCall Ident will be
displayed for a few seconds, directly beneath the
channel display, when you first turn the radio on.
You will need to make your Ident known to
anyone who may need to call you using Selcall.
Whenever your TX4600 hears a SelCall signal,
it compares the incoming Ident with its own.
If the two Idents match, the radio knows it is
being called and sounds an alarm to alert you,
otherwise the call is ignored.
NOTE: Although your radio’s SelCall Ident is
pre-programmed at the factory, you can arrange
to have your dealer change it if required.
SELCALL IDENT NAMES
When storing SelCall Idents in memory, the
TX4600 allows you to add a 5 character name to
each one, making it easier to identify whose Ident
you are recalling from the memory. In addition,
if an incoming SelCall matches one of the Idents
stored in the memory, the name can be displayed
to make it easier for you to identify the caller.
To add or display names
Your TX4600 must be in the ALPHA mode. To
switch between ALPHA mode and NUMERIC
mode, briefly press the F (function) key followed
by the ALPHA key. ‘ALPHA’ or ‘NUMER’ will
be displayed for 2 seconds below the channel
display to indicate the selected mode.
THE QUIET MODE (Q)
Your TX4600 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 a
signal containing your SelCall Ident is received,
the QUIET mode is deactivated and an alarm
sounds to alert you to the call. You can then
