15TK-880 Decode CodeWhen “Special setting” is disabled, you can select thedecode code setting from #1 to #8. The transceiver tries todecode the selected decode code setting (maximum 8 dif-ferent settings) at the same time. When the code matchesin “5-tone code” menu, the transceiver operates as pro-grammed in “Decode code” menu.When “Special setting” is enabled, you can select thedecode format setting from #1 to #32. You can select thedecode format name, configured in decode format menu.You can program the 5-tone code you want to receive foreach channel. At the same time, you can stand-by for de-coding a single tone.If the 5-tone code set in your transceiver matches a re-ceived code. Monitor is activated and a beep sounds. Youcan display the received 5-tone code on the LCD screen andtransmit an acknowledgment to the base station. Further-more, you can activate the Horn alert, Transfer, Stun, andKill features. Selcall/Status ListYou can program selcall or status message when youselect the party from the list to make a 5-tone selective call.Or you want to display selcall (status) code or messagewhen you receive the call. Maximum 8-digit can be pro-grammed for the code and 100 different selcalls or statusare available for selcall/status list.You can assign 16 alphanumeric characters to each mes-sage. Programmable Alert ToneYou can program the alert type from type 1 to type 8,when the expected 5-tone is received. You can program thenumber of times to repeat outputting and frequency andduration for the alert tone.When you select “Special setting”, you can further con-figure the beep tone type from No. 1 to No. 47, using theencode/decode format. Encode/Decode FormatYou can use encode/decode format script function whenyou select “Feature level” = Full and "Special setting" = En-abled.In order to write the encode/decode format script, youneed the technical knowledge of 5-tone signalling functions.Of course, you can write the script to perform all the func-tions that you can do with “Feature level” = Basic and Fulland “Special setting” = Disabled. (Menu driven method)In addition, you can write the original script to controlvarious functions and signalling timing. Refer to each func-tion of encode/decode format code for details. Samplescripts are also available in the KPG-60D.You can create 32 different types of encode/decode for-mats. You can assign a name up to 12 characters for eachencode/decode format.8. Audible User Feedback TonesThe transceiver outputs various combinations of tones tonotify the user of the transceiver operating state. The maintones are listed below. Power on toneThis tone is output when the transceiver is turned on.(The high tone is output for 500ms.) Alert toneThis tone is output when the transceiver is TX inhibitionfor TOT, battery warning and PLL unlocked. It is output untilthe PTT button is released. Group call toneSounds when a group call with the correct DTMF/2-toneoption signalling is received. DMS signalling alert toneSounds when an individual call with the correct DMS sig-nalling is received. Individual call toneSounds when an individual call with the correct DTMF/2-tone option signalling is received. Key press tone [A]Sounds when a key is pressed. For toggle keys, soundswhen toggle function is turned on (key press tone [B]sounds when it is turned off). Key press tone [B]Sounds when a key is pressed. For toggle keys, soundswhen the toggle function is turned off (key press tone [A]sounds when it is turned on). Key press tone [C]Sounds when a key is pressed. Also sounds when stor-ing data, adding a DTMF code to memory, and when chang-ing test mode settings. Key input error toneSounds when a key is pressed but that key cannot beused. Roll over toneSounds at the smallest group/channel. Transpond toneSounds when an individual call with the correct DTMF/2-tone option signalling is received. For group calls, only thegroup tone will sound, not the transpond tone. Pre alert toneSounds prior to the TOT TX inhibit activation. If TOT prealert is set, the tone sounds at the amount of time pro-grammed, before the TOT expires (TOT time – TOT pre alerttime = Pre alert tone sounding time).OPERATING FEATURES
