memory, the name can be displayed
instead of the Selcall Ident.
Displaying ALPHA names
To display the Selcall’s ALPHA Name,
you must have the radio’s ALPHA display
mode selected. To toggle the ALPHA
display mode, briefly press the Call key
to enter the ‘Call To’ mode, then briefly
press the Monitor key. A high beep
indicates Alpha mode is selected while
a low beep means the Ident mode is
selected. To exit the ‘Call To’ mode,
briefly press the Call key again, or simply
wait until it times out.
TIP: The normal channel display will give no
indication of which display mode is selected.
Only when displaying Idents will it become
obvious which mode is presently selected.
Entering and storing a Selcall name
NOTE: Before adding an ALPHA Name
to a Selcall Ident, you should first
store the required Ident in memory
as described above under ‘STORING
SELCALL IDENTS’ on page 15.
1. Briefly press the CALL key. The ‘CALL
TO’ mode will be selected and the
last-sent Selcall memory location will
be displayed.
2. Press the Monitor key to select the
ALPHA mode. A high beep indicates
ALPHA mode is selected. If you hear a
low beep, briefly press Monitor again.
3. Press the or channel keys to
select the Selcall memory that you
wish to programme (locations c0
to c9). If no ALPHA name has been
programmed for that memory the
radio will probably display - - - - -
otherwise it will display the ALPHA
name last programmed into that
memory.
4. With the required memory location
displayed, enter the required ALPHA
name as follows:
(a) Briefly press the F key. The left-
hand character of the ALPHA name
will flash.
(b) Briefly press the channel or
keys to change the letter in the
flashing character position.
The following characters are available:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F
G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U
V W X Y Z SPACE -
TIP: Holding the or key for a few
seconds will cause the radio to step quickly
through the available characters.
(c) Briefly press the F key again to
select the next character position.
(d) Repeat steps (b) and (c) to
program all 5 characters
as required.
5. Now press and hold the F key. The
ALPHA name will flash for a few
seconds, then the radio will beep as
the name is stored.
Repeat the procedure to add ALPHA
names to any other Selcall Idents stored
in memory.
To exit the ‘CALL TO’ mode, briefly press
the CALL key. The radio will return to
normal operation.
NOTE: The radio can be left in the ALPHA
display mode so that an incoming Selcall
matching one of those in the radio’s memory
will display the name associated with that
Selcall Ident instead of the Ident itself. Any
incoming Selcall’s not matching those in
the memory will display just the Ident in the
usual way.
RECEIVING SELCALLS
When your TX6200 receives its own Selcall
number, it will beep to alert you to the call.
In addition, it will cancel the QUIET mode
