Multi PL
Multi-PL is a feature of the console that allows the same radio channel to be used while providing
privacy for up to four groups. The operator can control which PL is used by the transmitter and receiver
using this feature. The operator should inquire with the system supervisor whether Multi-PL is a feature
of the system.
If the Multi PL function has been enabled through the CARD Suite software, selecting one of up to four
PL codes is possible. When the toolbar
MULTI PL button is pressed, the current/first available PL
appears on the status line of the information window and flashes. The information window prompts the
operator to use the
SCROLL buttons located to the right of the information window to select a PL. When
the desired PL has been selected, press the MULTI PL button a second time. If a parallel console is not
currently transmitting, the PL is then set on the selected channel and the information window returns to
normal operation with the new PL indicated on the status line of the information window.
If the operator has not set the PL after a console reset, no PL will be displayed on the status line. To
have the PL set and displayed, the operator must manually set it.
An error beep is generated and no PL is set if:
• the
MULTI PL button is pressed when the Multi-PL feature is not available on the selected channel, or
• a parallel console is transmitting at the time of PL selection.
Frequency Selection
If the base station on the selected channel is capable of transmission on more
than one frequency, and more than one frequency has been enabled through
the CARD Suite software application, a different frequency other than F1 can
be selected using the Frequency window or programmable buttons.
Select the FREQUENCY toolbar button to open the Frequency window. As
shown in the Frequency window, the buttons are labeled F1/SEL , F2/UP ,
F3/HOME and F4/DN .
Basic Frequency Operation
If the selected channel has four or fewer frequencies enabled, the four buttons
in the frequency window operate as F1, F2, F3 and F4 and only one of the
button indicators is lit to indicate the current frequency setting. Depending
on the number of frequencies available on a particular channel, some of the frequency buttons may be
inactive.
Press the desired frequency button to select a new frequency. If a parallel console is not currently
transmitting, the console transmits the new frequency selection to the base station. The indicator of the
previously selected frequency is extinguished, and the indicator of the newly selected frequency lights. If
the channel is programmed with channel frequency change buttons, the proper indicator will be set on
them as well. The alias of the newly selected frequency is displayed on the status line of the information
window. All subsequent transmissions on this channel are transmitted using the newly selected
frequency.
