Multi-Select
The Multi-Select option allows for simultaneous transmission on a set of channels when the multi-select
mode is chosen. This can be used when the operator wishes to simultaneously communicate with several
different channels.
Using Multi-Select
The console offers two multi-selections that can be stored and
retrieved by the operator. To access the two selections, open
the Multi-Select window by pressing the
MULTI SELECT
button located in the toolbar.
When either the MULTI 1 or MULTI 2 button is pressed, the
border of the button flashes red indicating that the selection
can now be edited and the display screen changes to the Multi-
Select screen. Channels can now be added or removed by
pressing a channel
SELECT button. When a channel is added to the multi-selection, the current
frequency F1, F2, etc., is used. If a multi-selection was previously stored, the stored channels are
displayed. When a multi-selection is recalled, the frequency on which the channel was added and
previously stored is also recalled. Pressing a channel
SELECT button toggles between select and
unselect, and by doing so, channels can be added or removed from the selection.
When the desired channels have been selected, press the main TRANSMIT button to begin transmission
on the selected channels. Upon transmitting, the border indicator of the MULTI button turns red
indicating that the selection can no longer be edited.
To exit multi-select without storing changes, press the appropriate MULTI button. To store changes,
press the SAVE/EXIT button. Upon exiting, the MULTI indicator is extinguished and the information
window returns to the normal format. The last selected channel before multi-select was initiated is now
displayed.
Signaling in Multi-Select
If the Navigator is equipped with the signaling option, PTT-ID’s are generated on all channels of the
multi-select in which PTT-ID’s have been enabled when a transmission is initiated. Additionally, the use
of a channel
TRANSMIT button on any channel that has PTT-ID enabled causes a PTT-ID to be
generated. Decode of digital signaling still occurs on either a dedicated channel or the selected channel
as described in CARD Suite. Consult with the system supervisor regarding the encode/decode of digital
signaling.
