BENDIXKing UHF/VHF Radio, E Lawrence Programming Manual

HOW TO PROGRAM RADIOS

There are three different ways to program Bendix/King radios:

By Keyboard

A radio with a keyboard and LCD display can be programmed by using its keyboard and a programming plug or cloning cable. See “Keyboard Programming” on page 2.

By Cloning

A radio with a keyboard and LCD display can transfer its programmed settings to another radio of the same frequency band by using a cloning cable. A radio cannot transfer its settings

for Alphanumeric display or optional boards such as UCOM, scrambling, etc. See “Cloning Radio Settings” on page 20.

By Computer

A radio can be programmed from a computer by using a special RS-232 interface cable. That procedure is not described in this manual. Contact Bendix/King for the programming cable, software, and instruction manual.

KEYBOARD PROGRAMMING

This section describes the procedures for programming Bendix/King radios equipped with a keyboard and LCD display. Most of these procedures are the same for diff erent types and models, with exceptions noted where necessary. Required equipment includes:

Portable radios --------------- programming plug or cloning cable ENB and LMH mobiles ----- cloning cable EMV and EMH mobiles-----

LAA0290 keyboard microphone, when

available

Remove the covers from the side

connector and the keyboard/display. Attach a charged battery pack

(portables) or 12V DC power source (mobiles).

Insert the programming plug or cloning

cable into the side connector

(portables) or mic connector (mobiles). Select the channel group to be

programmed. (Not necessary in 14-channel radios.)

See Selecting a Group” on page 19.

Press and hold the master switch. EMV and EMH: press and hold the far

right button on the front of the radio. While holding the master switch, press

and hold the [FCN] key. After approximately three seconds the LCD

will display

- - - ID.

Release the

[FCN]

key and the master switch. The radio is now in the password entry mode.

LPH & LMH: no password

function-

skip steps 8 - 10.

Enter the six-digit password code. Without the correct password code,, you cannot proceed with programming.

NOTE: The same password code is

used for all groups in the radio. New

radios are shipped from the factory with the password code 000000 assigned.

While entering the password code the display will not change, but a beep will sound for each key pressed. If the password code is entered incorrectly,

the radio will reset to normal operation. Try again, starting at step 4.

9. To keep the password unchanged, press the

[ENT]

key and continue with

normal radio programming.

To change the password, press the

[FCN]

key and enter a new six-digit password code. The digits are displayed as you enter them.

NOTE: Do not use a 1 for the first digit of the password code

the radio will malfunction. The password code can contain the digits 0 through 9, *, and #.

If you make an error entering the new password code, press the

[CLR]

key

and try again.

10.

Press the

[ENT]

key to store the new password and proceed to programming mode. The display will change to

PRG Ch

00 (Alphanumeric

display) or

PROG Ch

0 (standard

Segment display).

GENERAL SETTINGS (CHANNEL 0)

Channel 0 is the portion of the program t hat controls general performance

variables for all the channels in a 14-channel radio. For a 21 O-channel

radio, the Channel 0 settings for each group must be programmed separately. Select the group to be programmed before entering Programming Mode. See “Selecting a Group” on page 19.

NOTE: Settings listed as Group One, Group Two, and Group Three settings refer to Channel 0 programming settings, not channel groups.

After entering the programming mode the

LCD will display PRG Ch 00 (Alphanumeric) or PROG CH 0 (7-Segment).

Press the

[FCN]

key.

The display will indicatethe AN I ID number (as many as seven digits may be used).

The ID number can be used for either

radio management or transmitted as a DTMF tone burst for ANI purposes. The

ANI can be enabled or disabled. See “ANI

If no change is needed for the ID number,

press the

[FCN]

key to advance to the

next section.

To enter a new number, press the

[CLR]

key, followed by number keys. The digits will appear at the right side of the display and move to the left.

To increase the existing ID number by one digit, press the

[PRI]

key.

Press the

[ENT] key to store the new ID

number and advance to the next section.

If the new ID number will be used only for

cloning, press

[FCN]

instead of

[ENT]

to advance to the next section. The ID number will not be stored locally.

TRANSMITTER TIME OUT TIMER

After the ID number is set, the display annunciator will indicate

PRG TX.

This is the duration of the transmitter Time Out Timer. 0

SEC

means the Time Out Timer

is disabled. Press the

[PRI]

key to increase the Time Out Timer duration by 15 seconds, with a maximum of 225 seconds (3 minutes, 45

seconds). Press the

[PRI]

key again to change the duration from 225 seconds to zero.

Press the

[CLR]

key to set the Time Out

Timer duration to zero.

Press the

[ENT] key to store the changed

setting and advance to the next section.

Press the

[FCN]

key to advance to the

next section if no change is needed, or if a new setting is only to be cloned, not stored locally.

SCAN DELAY TIME

After the Time Out Timer is set, the upper display will indicate

PRG

SCN. This is the

scan delay time in seconds.

Press the

[PRI]

key to increase the scan

delaytime by .5 seconds, up to 7.5 seconds.

Press the

[PRI]

key again to change the

time from 7.5 seconds to 0.

Press the

[CLR]

key to reset the scan

delay time to 0.

Press the

[ENT]

key to store the changed

setting and advance to the next section. Press the

[FCN]

key to advance to the next section if no change is needed, or if a new setting is only to be cloned, not stored locally.

When a function is enabled, the corresponding number in the display will flash. When the function is disabled the

number is steady. To change the function from enabled to disabled or vice versa,

press the number key corresponding to that function. After making all the desired changes for group one settings, press the

[ENT]

key to save your changes and

advance to the group two settings.

EXAMPLE: If function 4 (Priority Key Lockout) is disabled, the 4 in the display will not be flashing. If the

[4]

key is pressed, the 4 in the display will flash, signifying that Priority Key Lockout is enabled. A subsequent press of the [4] key will disable Priority Key Lockout.

BATTERY SAVER INHIBIT

When function 1 is enabled (flashing) the battery saver is turned off . The battery saver should be turned off only to get proper voltage readings during service or in systems requiring extremely fast squelch attack time.

NOTE: Bendix/King current drain and battery life specifications are

based on performance with the battery saver on.

PRIORITY SCAN

Functions 2 and 3 are used to define Priority Scan operation. There are three modes of Priority Scan available. They are described in
