ID SETUP NXDN ID Setup (Digital) NXDN ID Setup allows you to configure an identification code. NXDN ID (Own unit ID) can be used to identify the transceiver in an NXDN System. You can set the NXDN ID from 00001 to 65519. The default NXDN ID is “00001”. To set the NXDN ID With the transceiver power OFF, press and hold the Side 1 button and PTT switch while turning the transceiver power ON.
Reserved Group Setup (Digital) Reserved Group Setup allows you to configure the Reserved Group ID. Reserved Group ID is the ID that is the destination of Group Call communication in the channel where Selcall on PTT > Call Type (NXDN) is set to “Reserved Group”.

Channel Type Setup Set the Channel Type of the selected Zone-Channel to “Analog”, “NXDN” (Digital), or “Mixed” (Dual). The following is the transceiver behavior for transmission and reception on a channel with “Mixed” (Dual) configured in Channel Type: Transmission: The transceiver transmits in the mode (Analog or NXDN) configured in the TX Setup Mode {p.
TX Setup When Channel Type is “Mixed” (Dual), set to “Analog” or “NXDN” (Digital) for Transmit Mode. To set the Transmit Mode During CHANNEL SETUP, rotate the Selector to select a channel number. • The transceiver announces the zone number and channel number. Press the Side 1 or Side 2 button to select the TX Setup Mode.
Page 28
Operation • If Transmit Mode is set to “Analog”, the transceiver will respond to a call in Analog format. • If Transmit Mode is set to “NXDN” (Digital), the transceiver will respond to a call in NXDN format. • In a mixed channel, if the transceiver receives matched Signaling (QT/DQT/ RAN), the transceiver will be able to transmit in the same mode as that of the received signal before the Signaling Reset Timer (10 seconds) elapses, regardless of the Transmit Mode settings.
QT/DQT Setup (Analog) Quiet Talk (QT) and Digital Quiet Talk (DQT) are functions that reject undesired signals on your channel. You will hear a call only when you receive a signal that contains a matching QT tone or DQT code. If a call containing a different tone or code is received, squelch will not open and you will not hear the call.
