Selcall Identification number
(IDENT)
Your TX6200 is factory programmed
with its own unique Selcall Identification
Number (Ident). This number identifies
your radio from others in your area. You
will need to make your Ident known to
anyone who may need to call you with
Selcall. Whenever your TX6200 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 to
the call.
The Selcall Ident of your radio is
displayed on the bottom right of the LCD
for a few seconds when you first turn
your radio on.
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
The TX6200 allows you to add a 5
character name to all 10 Selcall Idents
stored in memory. The name can then be
stored in memory with the Ident 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, its name
can be displayed to make it easier for
you to identify the caller.
THE QUIET MODE (Q)
Your TX6200 can be set to listen on a
busy channel but not allow any sound
to be heard UNLESS it receives its own
Selcall Ident. In this way, your radio
can monitor a busy channel without
disturbing you, but still let you know
when you are being called.
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 converse
normally on the channel.
NOTE: The QUIET mode overrides the
normal Squelch system to ensure that the
radio remains quiet even when the channel
is busy. When QUIET is set, you may see the
‘BUSY’ icon and signal strengths appear on
the display indicating the channel is being
used. However, unless someone transmits
your Selcall Ident, nothing will be heard in
the speaker.
The QUIET mode can be set to work on
specific channels i.e. some channels can
be set to remain Quiet while others can
remain Open to all incoming signals.
TIP: Setting the QUIET mode is not
mandatory. You can still use Selcall on any
channel whether the QUIET mode is set or
not.
SELCALL MEMORIES
Your TX6200 is fitted with 10 Selcall
Ident memories which can be used to
store frequently used Selcall Idents. There
is also an additional ‘CALL’ memory
which holds the Ident you last sent or
received. The memories can be viewed
by briefly pressing the call key. The initial
memory displayed is the ‘CALL’ memory.
Pressing the or channel selection
keys will step through the other 10
Selcall storage memories in sequence.
