2-Way Terminology

Accelerated Life Test a Motorola proprietary developmental process of rigorous laboratory testing that simulates years of field use.   Built-in Noise Reduction Microphone reduces background noise to allow clear, understandable transmissions in heavy noise environments. Call Alert lets a caller "page" you via your radio. Channel Scan lets you monitor specific operating channels. Priority Scan allows you to choose one channel to be monitored with more frequency than the others. Operator Selectable Scan lets you program the channels in the scan list to be monitored and select a priority channel. Scan Nuisance Delete allows you to temporarily delete a non­priority channel from the scan list. Talkgroup Scan lets you monitor any combination of trunked systems, subfleets, or conventional channels in the same scan list. Dual Mode Capability provides the flexibility of trunked and conventional repeater operation from one radio. Private Conversation allows communication exclusively between the initiating radio or control station and the radio called. Privacy Plus Trunking provides fast, automatic and democratic communications access not provided by conventional radio systems. Radio-to-Radio Cloning allows you to duplicate one radio's operating parameters into another like radio of the same sub­band using a simple cloning cable. Internal Voice Operated Transmission (VOX) lets you activate radio by voice alone, for hands free operation. Multiple­Coded Squelch Capability­ Private­Line (PL) or Digital Private­Line (DPL) lets you receive only the calls intended for you, and place calls to only those that accept the designated code. Push-to-Talk Interface allows a dispatcher to identify transmitting radios and monitor airtime usage. Quik­Call II Signaling provides an efficient way for dispatcher to initiate a page to an individual or group. Field Programmable using the Radio Service Software, changes can be made to the radio frequencies or other individual characteristics. Talkaround lets you bypass a repeater and talk directly to another unit. Telephone Interconnect gives you the capability to initiate and/or receive telephone calls using your radio. Time­out Timer limits the amount of time a user can continuously transmit on a channel. Voice Selective Call Signaling provides an efficient way to initiate a voice page message to an individual or group. Emergency Alarm used by radio operators to inform dispatch personnel of critical or life threatening situations through a data transmission. Programmable Channel Spacing  (Wide Band Frequency Separation) gives you more versatility of channel spacing. Alphanumeric Display lets you name and view channels or talkgroups in words instead of numbers. Busy Channel Lock­out prevents users from "talking over" each other by restricting transmission if activity is detected on the channel. Horn and Lights Capability activates a vehicle's horn and headlights when a Call Alert signal is received and the operator is away from the vehicle. Military Specifications Mill Std. 810 C, D, and E the U.S. Department of Defense's most rigorous standards for radio performance in harsh environments.
