Ericsson LBI-38732E - Manual (Page 13)

INTRODUCTION
This manual describes how to use the EDACS M-RK
II Portable Radio. The M-RK II is a synthesized, micro-
processor-based, high performance portable FM radio
providing reliable two-way communications in both the
Enhanced Digital Access Communications System
(EDACS) trunking environment and conventional com-
munication systems.
In the EDACS or trunked system mode, the user
selects a communications system and group. In this
mode, channel selection is transparent to the user and
is controlled via digital communication with the system
controller. This provides advanced programmable fea-
tures and fast access to communication channels.
In the conventional mode, the user selects a channel
and directly communicates on that channel. In this mode,
a system refers to a set of channels. A channel is a
transmit/receive radio frequency pair.
The exact operation of the radio will depend on the
operating mode, the radio’s programming, and the par-
ticular radio system. Most features described in this
manual may be enabled or disabled through program-
ming. Consult the system administrator for the particular
features that are programmed into the M-RK II.
