SECTION 1 GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 SCOPE OF MANUAL
This addendum updates the following LTR®
9800-series service manual with the additional information needed to service 9800-series SMARTNET™/
SmartZone
®
transceivers.
98xx Series UHF/800/900 MHz Service Manual,
Part No. 001-9800-001
1.2 DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LTR AND
SMARTNET/SMARTZONE VERSIONS
1.2.1 HARDWARE DIFFERENCES
The 98xx SMARTNET/SmartZone transceivers
use the same basi c P C boa rds an d mechanical package
used for high tier LTR models. The only change is the
addition of a DSP board that mounts on top of the
current audio/logic board. This DSP board provides
the SMARTNET/SmartZone control and signal
processing functions.
Therefore, use the service manual listed above to
service all boards except the DSP board. Service and
interfacing information for that board is located in
Section 5 of this addendum.
1.2.2 SOFTWARE DIFFERENCES
The audio/logic and DSP board operating software (firmware) is unique to this transceiver. In addition, the pr ogramming and tuning software is also
different. Therefore, new Operation, Programming,
and Alignment sections are included in this manual.
The programming and tuning programs are now
Windows
®
based. Therefore, Windows 95, 98, or NT
4 or later is required to run these programs. The
programming software is called PCTrunk
alignment software is called PCTune
™
™
. Refer to
, and the
Sections 1.5.5 and 1.5.6 for more information on
programming and alignment.
1.3 TRANSCEIVER IDENTIFICATION
The transceiver identification (serial) number is
printed on a label that is attached to the chassis. The
information contained in this number is as follows.
1 = Low Pwr std*
2 = Mid Pwr std
3 = High Pwr std

1.5.3 SYSTEMS, CHANNELS, AND ZONES
A zone and channel are selected to place and
receive calls. The following describes the relationship
between systems, channels, and zones.
Systems
A system as used with this transceiver is a collection of channels (talk groups) belonging to the same
repeater site. A system defines all the parameters and
protocol definitions required to access a site. Up to
1 conventional system and 15 SmartNet/SmartZone
systems can be programmed (16 total). Systems are
used for programming purposes only and are not
selectable by the user.
Channels
A channel selects a radio channel or talk group in
a system as follows:
Conventional Mode - A channel selects a specific
radio channel, Call Guard (CTCSS/DCS) squelch
coding, and other parameters unique to that channel.
1.5.2 KEY CAP KITS
Key Cap Kit, Part No. 587-9840-003, is included
with each transceiver. This kit includes the five key
caps listed below.
EMERF1F2F3SCAN
Optional Key Cap Kit, Part No. 587-9840-105, is
also available. This kit includes the key caps shown
below.
T o re move a key cap, i nsert a tool with a s harp ti p
in the slot on the bottom of the cap and carefully pry
against the front panel to release the cap.
SmartNet/SmartZone Mode - A channel selects a
specific talk group, announcement group, emergency
group, and other parameters unique to that channel.
As previously describ ed, a maximu m of up to 256
channels can be programmed with the preceding
modes. The conventional system can be programmed
with up to 256 channels, and each SmartNet/SmartZone system can be programmed with up to 256 talk
groups (channels).
Therefore it is theoretically possible to program
any combination of these systems that produces up to
256 total channels. However, the maximum number
may be limited by the availa ble memory. For example,
since more memory is requir ed to pr ogram a Smar tNet
system than a conv entional sy stem, the total nu mber of
channels decreases as the number of Smart Net systems
increases. The programming software displays a bar
graph which shows the amount of available memory
space that is used by the current data. Refer to Section
3.1.10 for more inform ation.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Zones
A zone is a collection of up to 16 chann els of any
type (conventional or SmartNet/SmartZone). For
example, a zone could include 12 conventional channels and 4 S martNet channels. Zones are similar to
banks used in other EFJohnson transceivers. One use
of zones may be to program the channels used for
operation in a specific geographical area. Up to 16
zones can be programmed.
1.5.4 NPSPAC MODELS
All 800 MHz models meet the stricter specifications estab lished by NP SPAC (National Public Safety
Panel Advisory Committee) for public safety frequencies from 821-824 and 866-869 MHz. Maximum deviation on NPSPAC channels is 4 kHz, and it is automatically changed to the level set for NPSPAC channels
when one of these channels is selected.
1.5.5 PROGRAMMING
The transceiver is programmed using a PCcompatible computer, the EFJohnson Remote
Programming Interface (RPI), and the PCTrunk™
programming software (see Table 1-1). Programming
is described in Section 3. The operating software
(firmware) is Flash upgradable if required. Keypad
programming is not available with this transceiver.
1.5.6 TRANSCEIVER ALIGNMENT
Transceiver alignment is performed using the
same computer and RPI used to perform programming (see preceding section) and special PCTune™
software. Only three adjustments are made manually
and the rest are made electronically using the PCTune
software. Therefore, if the manual adjustments do not
require readjustment, the transceiver can be tuned
without removing the top cover to access internal
adjustments. Refer to Section 4 for more information.

2.3 GENERAL OPERATION
2.3.1 INTRODUCTION
This section (2.3) describes features available
with both conventional and SMARTNET/SmartZone
(trunked) operation. For information on features
unique to conventional channels, refer to Section 2.4,
and for information on features unique to
SMARTNET/SmartZone channels, refer to
Section 2.5.
2.3.2 TURNING P OWER ON AND SETTING
VOLUME
Power is turned on and off by pressing the OnOff/Volume switch on the front panel. When power is
initially turned on, an alert tone sounds and the radio
software version is momentarily displayed. The zone
alias is then displayed followed by the unit ID if a
SMARTNET/SmartZone channel is selected (see
Section 2.5.2). The selected channel is then indicated.
When power is turned off, the display may remain on
for a few seconds. It is recommended that power not
be turned back on again until the display is blank.
• If a conventional channel is selected and the
Monitor option switch is programmed (see Section
2.4.4), pressing that switch unsquelches/squelches
the receiver and eithe r voice or backgroun d noise is
heard. If a SMARTNET/SmartZone channel is
selected, the receiver cannot be manually
unsquelched.
2.3.3 BACKLIGHT
The backlight for the display and keypad can be
manually turned on and off if the Backlight option
switch is programmed. Pressing this switch cycles
between the Bright, Dim, and Of f modes. If this switc h
is not programmed, the backlight is fixed in one of
these modes.
2.3.4 OPTION SWITCHES
All five push-button switches on the front panel
are programmable for the functions indicated in Table
2-1. If your radio is programmed with both conventional and SMARTNET/SmartZone channels (see
Section 2.3.12), these option switches can be
programmed to control a different set of functions for
each channel type. For example, a switch could select
the Monitor Mode when a conventional channel is
selected and Private Cal ls whe n a SMARTNET/SmartZone channel is selected. If no option switch has been
programmed to control a particular function, that function may not be available or in a fixed mode.
2.3.5 CHANNEL AND ZONE SELECTION
Channel Select
To change the selected channel, rotate the Select
switch. The selected channel alias (name) is indicated
on the top line of the display. With conventional channels, the channel number or frequency may also be
displayed as described in Section 2.4.2.
The volume level is adjusted by rotating the OnOff/Volume switch. The relative volume level can be
determined by noting the position of the index on the
knob. You may also be able to enable a reference tone
for setting the volume as follows:
• If key press tones ar e en abl ed ( see Section 2.3.8), a
short tone sounds when front panel option keys are
pressed.
Zone Select
A zone is a group of up to any 16 conventional
and SMARTNET/SmartZone channels defined by
programming (see Section 1.5.3). Up to 16 zones can
be programmed for a total of 16 x 16 or 256 channels.
One use of zones may be to select groups of channels
programmed for operation in different geographical
areas or radio systems. Zones are selected as follows:

switch. Then to change the home zone to the currently
selected zone, press and hold this switch until a tone
sounds (approximately 1 second).
2.3.7 TIME-OUT TIMER
The time-out timer disables the transmitter if it is
keyed for longer than the programmed time. It can be
programmed on each channel for times from 15
seconds up to 3 minutes, 45 seconds or disabled (not
used). If the transmitter is keyed continuously for
longer than the programmed time, the transmitter is
disabled and an invalid condition tone sounds. Five
seconds before time-out occurs , an alert to ne sounds to
indicate that time-out is approaching. The timer and
tone are reset by releasing the PTT switch.
One use of this feature is to prevent a channel
from being kept busy for an extended period by an
accidentally keyed transmitter. It can also prevent
possible transmitt er damage c aused by t ransmitti ng for
an excessively long period. Conven tional cha nnels can
also be programmed with the Penalty and Conversation timers that are described in Sections 2.4.7 and
2.4.8.
2.3.8 TONE ENABLE/DISABLE
The supervisory tones (see Section 2.6) can be
enabled and disabled by the Tones On-Off option
switch if it is programmed. When tones ar e enabl ed by
this switch, “TONE ON” is momentarily displayed on
the lower line and a tone sounds. Conversely, when
tones are disabled, “TONE OFF” is displayed and no
tone sounds. If the Tones On-Off option switch is not
programmed, tones are fixed in the on or off mode by
programming.
2.3.9 P OWER TURN-OFF DELAY
2.3.6 HOME ZONE
The radio can be programmed with a home zone.
Then when power is turned on, the radio can be
programmed so that either the home zone or last
selected zone is automatically selected.
If the Home Zone option switch is programmed,
it can be used to quickly select or change the home
Revised January 2001

The transceiver can be installed so that the
vehicle ignition switch as well as the front-panel
power switch controls transceiver power. This is done
by connecting the accessory ignition switch wire to a
power source switched by the ignition switch. Power
off delays of 0-254 minutes or Forever can then be
programmed. This delay ca n be overr idden at any time
by turning power off using the front-panel power
switch or turning the ignition switch back on.
2-4
Page 12
OPERATION
A turn-off delay allows the radio to remain active
for the programmed delay time after the ignition swi tch
is turned off. At the same ti me, advanta ges of ignition
switch control can be utilized such as preventing
battery discharge that may occur if the transceiver is
accidentally left on for an extended period.
2.3.10 TEMPERATURE AND VOLTAGE
MONITORING
Excessive Transceiver Temperature
If the internal transceiver temperature becomes
excessive, a tone sounds and “HOT” is displayed on
the bottom line. Transmit power is then auto matically
cut back to approximately 1/3 of normal to limit heat
generation. When the temperature is not longer excessive, power output automatically returns to normal.
This condition may be caused by transmitting for
extended periods or operating in a very warm
environment.
If the temperature continues rising to the point
where serious transceiver damage could result, “TOO
HOT” is displayed, a tone sounds, and the transmitter
is disabled. The PTT switch must then be released and
the temperature drop t o the exces sive rang e or lowe r to
transmit again.
Low Voltage Conditions
If the voltage applied to the transceiver decreases
to the point where improper operation could result,
“LO VOLT” is displayed on the bottom line, a tone
sounds, and the transmitter is disabled. This condition
is usually caused by a discharged vehicle battery. To
clear this condition, operate the vehicle to charge the
battery or transmit with the vehicle running.
2.3.11 SCANNING
detected, the microphone must also be on-hook for
scanning to occur. An off-hook condition also dis abl es
coded squelch as described in Section 2.4.3
There are two basic scan modes: Standard and
Radio Wide. The Standard mode is unique to the type
of channel selected (conventional or SMARTNET/
SmartZone), and the Radio Wide mode is the same
regardless of the channel type selected. Only one of
these scan modes can be enabled at a time. Therefore,
if standard scanning is enabled while radio wide scanning is occurring, radio wide scanning is automatic ally
disabled and vice versa. More information on these
modes follows.
Standard Scanning
Standard scanning monitors only channels that
are the same type as that currently selected. Therefore, if a conventional channel is selected, only
conventional channels are scanned, and if a
SMARTNET channel is selected, only SMARTNET
channels are scanned. Standard scanning is turned on
and off by the Scan option switch as follows. If this
switch is not programmed, standard scanning is not
available.
• To turn standard scanni ng on, p ress the Sc an opt ion

Introduction
Scanning cycles through a list of channels, called
a “scan list”, checking each for messages. When a
message is detected that your transceiver is
programmed to receive, scanning stops and the
message is received. Shortly after the message is
complete, scanning resumes (unless it has been
disabled). If the microphone off-hook condition is
• If the zone or channel is changed while scanning is
selected, scanning continues on the same or a
different scan list (see scan list information which
follows).
Radio Wide Scanning

OPERATION
which follows). This list may contain up to 16 channels of any type (conventional or SMARTNET/SmartZone) assigned to any zone. Radio wide scanning is
turned on and off by the Radio Wide Scan option
switch as follows. If this switch is not programmed,
radio wide scanning is not available.
• To turn radio wide scanning on, press the Radio
Wide Scan option switch. The icon is then
displayed continuousl y and “RWS ON” is displa yed
briefly on the lower line of the display.
• To turn radio wide scanning off, press the Radio
Wide Scan op tion switch aga in. The icon is then
no longer indicated and “RWS OFF” is displayed
briefly.
• If the zone or channel is changed while radio wide
scanning, scanning continues normally.
Scan Resume Delay
When a message is received or transmitted while
scanning, there is a programmable delay before scanning resumes. The delay after receiving a c all prevents
another message from being received before you can
make a response, and the delay after transmitting a call
ensures that you hear a respon se to your call ins tead of
another message occurring on some other channel.
Radio Wide Mode Scan List
With radio wide scanning, there is only one
preprogrammed scan list available regardless of the
type of channel selected, and it is not user
programmable.

the Select switch. The selected list is indicated as
“SCAN x”, where “x” is the l ist number from 1- 3. If
user programming is disabled on a list, “NO LIST”
is momentarily displayed and it cannot be edited.
With SMARTNET/SmartZone channels, the scan
list for the selected channel is fixed and cannot be
changed. Scanning may also be disabled on the
channel in which case “NO LIST” is momentarily
displayed and scan list editing is not available.
3. Select the channel you want to add or delete by
rotating the Select switch. After the last conventional chan nel in the current zone is displayed, the
first valid channel in the next zone is dis p l aye d and
vice versa. SMARTNET/SmartZone lists are
limited to 16 channels. If an attempt is made to add
more than 16, “LIST FULL” is displayed and a
channel must be deleted before another can be
added.
4. If the selected channel is in the scan list (scanned),
the box icon (around “

5. To exit this mode and save the changes, press the
Scan Edit option switch again.
2.3.12 CONVENTIONAL AND SMAR TNET/
SMARTZONE OPERATION
Conventional Operation
This is a non-trunked operation mode which
accesses independent radio channels (there is no automatic access to several channels as with trunked operation). Monitoring before transmitting may not occur
automatically in this mode, so you may have to manually monitor the channel before transmitting to make
sure that it is not being used by anyone else (see
Section 2.4.3). Selecting a conventional channel
selects a transmit and receive frequency and other
parameters such as Call Guard squelch coding.
SMARTNET/SmartZone Operation
This is a trunked operating mode that uses ID
codes to select which mobiles are being called and
which calls are received. Monitoring is performed
automatically and special messages and tones indicate
busy and out-of-range conditions. Enhanced features
include roaming (SmartZo ne on ly), t elephon e, priv ate,
and emergency calls, Call Alert, and messaging. Operating features unique to SMARTNET/SmartZone
channels are described in Section 2.5.
This radio supports only the SMARTNET II
trunking protocol. It does not support the
SMARTNET I (also referred to as Type I) protocol.
When a SMARTNET or SmartZone channel is
selected or the radio is powered up on one of those
channels, it searches for a control channel and
attempts to register on the radio system. Once a
control channel is found, the alias (name) of the
selected channel is displayed. If a control channel
could not be found (because of an out of range condition or the system ID is not co rr ect, for e xample) , “NO
SYS” is displayed and the radio continues to search
for a control channel.
Introduction
Each selectable channel is programmable for
either conventional or SMARTNET
(trunked) operation. For example, Zone 1/Channel 1
could be a conventional channel, Zone 1/Channel 2 a
SMARTNET/SmartZone channel, and so on. More

The control channel transmits and receives
system information to and from all radios register ed on
the system. Therefore, once a contro l channel i s found,
it is continuously monitored for incoming call information and is used to make call requests. The radio

OPERATION
2.4 CONVENTIONAL FEATURES
2.4.1 INTRODUCTION
The following information describes features
unique to the conventional operating mode (described
briefly in Section 2.3.12). Refer to Section 2.3 for
information on features common to all operating
modes, and to Section 2.5 for information on features
unique to the SMARTNET/SmartZone mode.
2.4.2 DISPLAY MODE SELECTION
If the Displayed Information option switch is
programmed, the display mode used to indicate
conventional channels can be user selected. Pressing
this switch cycles between the follo wing modes. The
selected mode does not change when power is turned
off. If the Displayed Information option switch is not
programmed, the Alias mode is always used.
Alias - The preprogrammed alphanumeric tag for
the channel is displayed.
Busy Indicator
- With scanning dis abled, note if the
Transmit /Busy indi cator o n the fr ont panel is gr een.
If it is not, the chann el is n ot being used a nd the ca ll
can be transmitted. If it is on, a carrier is being
detected, so the channel may be busy (see next
paragraph).
Monitor Mode
- There may be times whe n the bus y
indication is display ed eve n though no one is using
the channel. Monitoring should then be performed
by disabling Call Guard squelch by taking the
microphone off-hook (if off-hook detection is
enabled), pressing the Normal/Selective switch as
described in on Section 2.4.6, or by selecting the
monitor mode as described next.
2.4.4 MONITOR MODE
The monitor mode temporarily disables squelch
control features (such as Call Guard
®
squelch) so that
all messages are heard on the selected channel. It also
overrides the Busy Channel Lockout feature (see next
section) and temporarily disables scanning.
Number - The channel number from 1-16 is
displayed.
Frequency - The receive frequency of the selected
channel is displayed in megahertz.
2.4.3 MONITORING BEFORE TRANSMITTING
With conventional operation, channels are moni-
tored automatically or manually as follows:
Automatic Channel Monitoring
If the selected channel is programmed for the
Busy Channel Lockout feature, monitoring is
performed automatically. Refer to the description of
this feature in Section 2.4.5 for more information.
Manual Channel Monitoring
The automatic monitoring just described may not
be programmed or it may occasionally disable the
transmitter even if the channel is no t in use. In th is
case, the channel must be monitored manually as
follows:
To monitor the selected channel, select the
monitor mode by briefly pressing the
MON option
switch (if available). The icon is displayed and the
receiver unsquelches when the monitor mode is
enabled. To disable the monitor mode and return to
normal operation, press the
MON switch a second
time.
When scanning is enabled, pressing and holding
the
MON option switch until a tone sounds (approxi-
mately 1 second) monitors th e scanned cha nnel instead
of the selected channel.
2.4.5 BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT
The Busy Channel Lockout feature (also called
Transmit Disable On Busy) automatically disables the
transmitter if the channel is busy when the PTT switch
is pressed. When a busy condition is detected by this
feature, the transmitter is disabled, “BUSY” is indicated on the lower line of the display, and a tone
similar to a standard telephone busy tone sounds until
the PTT switch is released. This feature is
programmed to operate in one of the following modes
on each channel:

OPERATION
Off - The transmi tter key s ev en if t he channe l is bus y.
Noise - The transmitter is disabled if any signal is
detected on the channel.
Tone - The transmi tter is disab led if the detected
squelch coding is not correct.
If busy override is permitted by programming, it
is possible to transmit even when the transmitter is
disabled by this feature. S imply rel ease the PTT switch
and then quickly press it again.
2.4.6 CALL GUARD SQUELCH
General
Call Guard® squelch (also called CTCSS/DCS
signaling) may be programmed on conventional channels. This feature eliminates distracting messages
intended for others using the channel by using a
subaudible tone or digital code to control the squelch.
This tone or code is unique to a user or talk group on
that channel. It is transmitted by the mobile placing a
call, and if Call Guard squelch is programmed in the
mobile receiving the call, it must detect the correct
tone or code to receive the call.
Call Guard Squelch Enable/Disable
To disable Call Guard (Selective) squelch so that
all messages on the selected or scanned conventional
channels are heard, take the microphone off-hook (if
off-hook detection is enabled) or press the Normal/
Selective option switch if programmed. Then to reenable Call Guard s quelch, place the microphon e b ack
on-hook or press the Normal/Selective switch again.
When Call Guard squelch is disabled by the
option switch, “SQ NORM” is flashed on the lower
line of the display, and when it is enabled, “SQ SLCT”
is flashed. The mode selected by this switch does not
change when other channels are selected or power is
cycled. Call Guard squelch can also be disabled by th e
monitor mode described in Section 2.4.4.
2.4.7 PENALTY TIMER
A penalty timer may be programmed on conventional channels to prevent transmissions for a time
after the time-out timer described in Section 2.3.7
disables the transmitter. The penalty timer starts when
the PTT switch is released after the transmitter has
been disabled. If the PTT switch is pressed during the
penalty time, the time-out indication occurs again. A
beep sounds when the penalty timer expires and the
transmitter can then be keyed.
2.4.8 CONVERSATION TIMER
A conversation timer can be programmed on
conventional channels to limit the total length of a
conversation rather than just the length of each transmission as with the time-out timer. This timer is reset
when the time between transmissions exceeds the
penalty time just described. A warning tone sounds 5
seconds before the conver sation timer expi res. When it
expires, the transmitter is disabled and a warning tone
sounds. The transmitter remains disabled for the
length of the penalty time, and a beep sounds when it
can be keyed again.
2.4.9 REPEATER TALK-AROUND
Normally, all transmissions go through a repeater
which usually increases range. However, if out of
range of the repeater, you cannot talk to anyone else
on that channel even though t he mobile you are cal ling
may be only a short distance away. To allow communication when this situation occurs, repeater talkaround can be used to allow direct communication
with a mobile without going through a repeater.
Repeater talk-around can be selected if the
Repeater Talk-Around option switch is programmed.
When talk-around is enabled by this switch, the
icon is displayed and “RTA ON” is flashed on the
lower line of the display. Then when it is disabled by
pressing the switch again, that icon is no longer
displayed and “RTA OFF” is flashed. Changing channels or turning power off does not change the selected
talk-around mode.
2.4.10 P OWER OUTPUT SELECT
If the High/Low Power option switch is
programmed and power selection is permitted on the
current channel by programming, either high or low
transmitter power can be selected. Pressing t h i s swit ch
toggles the power setting. The new level is flashed on
the lower line of the display when this switch is
pressed as “HI POWER” or “LO POWER”. If power

selection is not permitted on the current channel, the
fixed power level is flashed and no power change
occurs. Turning power off or changing channels does
not change the power setting selected for a channel.
2.4.11 CONVENTIONAL MODE SCANNING
General
The following information describes scanning
features unique to conventional operation. Scan operation common to all modes is described in Section
2.3.11, and scan operation unique to SMARTNET/
SmartZone operation is described in Section 2.5.12.
Selecting a Scan List
With conventional standard scanning, one of up
to three scan lists can be selected. Scanning is turned
on and off and the scan list selected by repeatedly
pressing the Scan switch as follows:
1. Press the Scan option switch once to enable scan-
ning and Scan List 1. The “
S” icon is then indicated
in the upper left cor ner of the display a nd “SCAN 1”
is momentarily displayed on the bottom line.
2. Press the Scan option switch again to select Scan
List 2 (if available ), a nd “SCAN 2” is momen tarily
displayed. Press it again to select Scan List 3 (if
available).
3. Pressing the Scan op tion switch again disab les scan -
ning (the “
S” icon is no longer displayed). If the
Scan option switch is pressed again, the cycle
repeats.
Transmitting in Scan Mode
selected scan list. The radio transmits on the priority
channel.
Priority/Tx Selected - Priority sampling occurs and
the priority channel is the one programmed in the
selected scan list. The radio transmits on the selected
channel.
Priority on Selected - The priority channel is always
the selected channel. The radio transmits on the
selected channel.
Talkback - No priority sampling occurs. The radio
transmits on the channel of a call while scanning is
halted. Then once scanning resumes, it transmits on
the selected channel.
2.4.12 PRIORITY CHANNEL SAMPLING
General
The priority channel sampling feature ensures
that when standard scanning, messages on the priority
channel are not miss ed whil e listen ing to a mess age on
some other channel. The transceiver can be
programmed so that the priority channel is a fixed
channel associated with the current scan list, the
currently selected channel, or not used. When the
selected channel is a priority channel, “
P” is indicated
in the upper right part of the display.
Priority channel sampling occurs only with Standard conventional scanning. It does not occur with
Radio Wide scanning, when listening to any type of
SMARTNET/ SmartZon e call, or when tr ansmittin g. A
series of “ticks” may be heard when the priority
channel is sampled while listening to a message on
some other channel.
Each conventional scan list can be programmed
for one of the following modes. These modes determine if priority sampling occurs and also the channel
on which transmissions occur while scanni ng. Refe r to
the next sec t ion for more information.
No Priority - No priority channel sampling occurs
when the list is selected. The radio transmits on the
selected channel.
Priority/Tx Priority - Priority sampling occurs and
the priority channel is the one programmed in the
Revised January 2001
Part No. 001-9800-501
The priority sampling times are programmed by
the following parameters:
Lookback Time A - This time determines how often
the priority channel is checked for activity. Times of
0.25-4.00 seconds in 0.25-second st eps can be
programmed.
Lookback Time B - This time determines how often
the priority channel is checked once an incorrect Call
Guard (CTCSS/DCS) code is detected. Since it takes
much longe r to detect an incorrect Call Guard signal
2-10
Page 18
OPERATION
than a carrier, this time should be relatively long to
prevent the interruptions from making a message difficult to understand. Times of 0.5-8.0 seconds can be
programmed in 0.5-second steps.
Changing The Priority Channel
If a specific priority channel is associated with
the current scan list, it can be changed if the Priority
option switch is programmed. Proceed as follows:
1. Make sure all scanning is off (neither the standard
scan “
S” icon or radio-wide scan icon is
displayed).
2. Select the channel that you want to be the priority
channel using the Select switch in the normal
manner. If the channel is in a different zone, also
select the appropriate zone.
3. Press the Priority option switch and the “
P” icon is
displayed to indicate that the selected channe l is
now the priority channel.
2.4.13 STANDARD CONVENTIONAL CALLS
Standard conventional calls are calls to or from
other mobile units on the se le cte d channel. The proper
coded Call Guard signaling (see Section 2.4.6) may
need to be transmitted for them to receive your call
and also for you to receive their calls. Proceed as
follows to place and receive these calls:
Placing a Standard Conventional Call
1. Turn power on and set the volume as described in
Section 2.3.2. Select the channel programmed for
the mobile you want to call (see Section 2.3.5).
2. Monitor the channel a utomatically or manually as
described in Section 2.4.3.
3. Press the PTT switch and the call proceeds as
follows:
• Otherwise, busy and out-of-range conditions are
not indicated and speaking can begin after monitoring the channel.
4. Press (and hold) the PTT switch to talk and release
it to listen.
Receiving a Standard Conventional Call
1. Select or scan the channel programmed for the call
you want to receive (refer to Sections 2.3.11 and
2.4.11 for more scanning information).
2. When the call is received, press the PTT switch to
talk and release it to listen. If scanning, you may
have to respond before scanning resumes to ensure
that the response occurs on the channel of the call.
2.4.14 DTMF/ANI SIGNALING
DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-Frequency) tones can
be generated manually or automatically for ANI
(Automatic Number Identification) and other
purposes. The following options may be enabled by
programming for each conventional channel:
DTMF Keypad - Pressing 0-9, *, or # on the keypad
of an optional DTMF microphone transmits the corresponding tone (the PTT switch must also be pressed if
the transmitter does not automatically turn on when a
key is pressed).
Pre-Tx ANI - A preprogrammed ANI sequence is
automatically sent when you press the PTT switch.
Post-TX ANI - A preprogrammed ANI sequence is
automatically sent each time you release the PTT
switch.
Disabled - ANI signali ng is disabled.
2.5 SMARTNET/SMARTZONE FEATURES
2.5.1 INTRODUCTION

2.5.10 EMERGENCY ALARM AND CALL
Introduction
Emergency Alarms and Emergency Calls are
separate functions that can be individually enabled or
disabled on each SMARTNET/SmartZone system.
The Emergency option switch is also required for
these functions, and it is always the button to the left
of the display when it is used. Emergency Alarms and
Calls are transmitted on the emergency talk group
programmed on the selected system.
Emergency Alarms
An emergency alarm is a special data transmission that alerts a dispatcher of an emergency situation.
Proceed as follows to activate an emergency alarm:
1. Select a SMARTNET/SmartZone channel that has
this feature enabled and then press the Emergency
option switch. The radio then begins automatically
transmitting an emer gen cy al arm dat a messa ge and
“EMERGNCY” is indicated in the display for 3
seconds.
number of attempts have been made. To exit this
mode, power must be turned off and then on again.
Emergency Calls
An emergency call urgently requests access to a
voice channel. To place this call, proceed as follows:
1. Select a SMARTNET/SmartZone channel that has
this feature enabl ed and press the Emer gency option
switch. The emergency mode is indicated when
“EMERGNCY” is indicated in the display for
3 seconds.
2. To place the emergency call, manually press the
PTT switch and begin speaking as with a standard
call. All group calls which follow are then emergency calls (private, telephone, and call alert calls
are not allowed). If the channel is changed, the call
is made on the emergency talk group programmed
for the new channel.
3. T o exit this mode, power must be t urned off and then
on again.
2.5.11 FAILSOFT OPERATION
If a failure occurs in the SMARTNET/SmartZone system so that it cannot be used, the transceiver
automatically enters the failsoft mode. When this
mode is selected, “FAILSOFT” is indicated on the
lower line of the display.
When in the failsoft mode, operati on is in the
conventional mode on a preprogrammed failsoft
channel. If a transmi ssion is at tempte d before a fa ilsoft
channel is located, a continuous tone sounds until the
P TT sw it ch is rel eas ed. Wh en the radi o sys te m re tur ns
to normal op eration, this condition is automatic ally
detected and normal operation resumes.
2. When the emergency alarm is acknowledged, the
emergency acknowledge tone (two beeps) sounds.
Silent operation may al so be pr ogr ammed i n whi ch
case no tone sounds and there is no indication that
an acknowledgment occurred.

2.5.12 SMARTNET/SMARTZONE SCANNING
Scanning on a SMARTNET/Smartzone channel
is similar to the standard and radio wide scanning
described starting in Section 2.3.11. Each channel can
be programmed with a different scan list that includes
up to 16 channels, one of which can be a priority
channel. Up to three lists can be programmed, and
Revised January 2001

Part No. 001-9800-501
Page 25
OPERATION
they are user programmable if the Scan Edit option
switch is programmed (see “Pro graming a Scan List”
in Section 2.3.11).
Scanning is enabled/disabled by the Scan option
switch. In addition, channels can be programmed so
that scanni ng automatically starts whenever the
channel is selected. Scanning is temporarily disabled
and “
S” turns off if a channel is selected that has scan-
ning disabled. Then when a channel is selected again
that permits scanning, it is automatically re-enabled.
When responding to messages in the scan mode,
programming determines if the response always
occurs on the talk group of the call or the selected talk
group (if they are different). Transmissions occurring
at other times always occur on the selected talk group.
In addition to calls on channels in the scan list,
pages, private calls, and telephone calls are received
while scanning. Messages on the priority channel are
received while listening to lower priority messages.
However, private and telephone calls are not interrupted by calls on the priority channel.
2.5.13 DYNAMIC REGROUPING
The dynamic regrouping feature allows a
dispatcher to switch users to a dynamically defined
channel to receive an important message. Dynamic
regrouping operates as follows:
1. When this command is received, the alterna ti ng
dynamic regrouping tone sounds, the transceiver
automatically changes to the regrouping channel,
and the display indic ates “REGROUP” on the lower
line. All transmitting and receiving then occurs on
this channel .
2. T o reset all talk and annou ncement groups to normal
so that only the designated regr ouping channel is on
the dynamic group, manually select the designated
regrouping channel if you kno w it. If this channel is
not selected or there is no designated regrouping
channel, all tran smissions occu r on the dyna mically
assigned group regardless of which channel is
selected, and the regrouping tone sounds each time
the PTT switch is pressed.
3. When regrouping is canceled by the dispatcher,
transceiver operation returns to normal.
2.5.14 SMARTZONE FEATURES
Introduction
As described in Section 2.3.12, the SmartZone®
mode provides wide area coverage by allowing
roaming between SMARTNET and conventional sites.
SmartZone operation is th e same as SM ARTNET with
the following additional features:
Determining Current Site
To determine the current radio site, momentarily
press the Site Search option sw itch (if progra mmed). If
currently register ed on a site, “ SITE x” is di splay ed on
the top line, where “x” is the site number. If the site is
locked (see following), “LOCK x” is displayed
instead. The RSSI (Receive Signal Strength Indicator)
value of the current site as “RSSI x” is displayed on
the bottom line as “RSSI x”. To exit, press the Site
Search switch again.
Searching For a New Site
Press the Site Search option switch as described
above. Then to scroll through the other programmed
sites, rotate the Select switch while “SITE x” or “RSSI
x” is displayed. To select the displayed site, press the
Site Search option switch. To exit this mode and return
to normal op eration, press the Site Se arch switch
again. If site loc k is on when site s earch i s en tered (see
following), the radio will be locked on the new site
when this function is exited.
Locking/Unlocking a Site
It is sometimes desirable to stay on the current
site regardless of signal level. To lock the radio on the
current site so that it doe s not sear ch f or another, press
the Site Lock option switch (if programmed). The
display then momentarily indicates “LOCK x” to indicate that the current site is locked (“x” is the current
site number). To unlock the site, press the L ock switch
again and “UNLOCK” is momentarily displayed.

RPI Information
The RPI provides the required interface between
the computer and transceiver. It converts the RS-232
logic levels from the computer to the TTL logic levels
required by the transceiver microprocessor and vice
versa.
indicator is amber. The standard mode should be
selected for all but Flash programming.
With some remote mount transceivers (not 9800
series), this switch is used to turn transceiver power on
and off. A separate 9-16 VDC, 200 mA power supply
(such as P.N. 563-0001-005) must then be plu gged int o
the RPI power jack to provide power to the RPI.
Cable Information
The cables from the RPI to the computer and
transceiver are not included with the RPI. The -9800RPI has a female DB9 connector for the computer
connection. Since most computer serial ports have a
male DB9 or DB25 connector, a male DB9 to female
DB9 or DB25 is usually required. This is a standard
cable available at most computer supply stores. A suitable cable is also listed in Table 1-1.
The cable from the RPI to the transceiver has
modular telephone-style connectors on each end. It
plugs into the microphone jack on the front panel of
the transceiver. The cable for this application is also
listed in Table 1-1.
3.1.5 STARTING AND EXITING
To Start PCTrunk From Windows 3.1
A new RPI (Part No. 023-9800-000) has been
designed for this transceiver. This RPI is backward
compatible, so it can also be used to program other
E.F . Johnson tr ansceiver s which requ ire an RPI (e xcept
the 5300 series). This new RPI is required to Flash
program the transceiver to update the logic board operating software, and it has a phone jack that is required
for injecting the transmit audio signal during alignment. To perform the standard personality programming described in most of this section, earlier RPI’s
such as Part No. 023-5810-000 or 023-9750-000 can
also be used.
When programming both front and remo te models
of this transceiver, the switch on the front panel of the
RPI selects either the standard or Flash programming
mode. The standard mode is selected when it is away
from the LED and the indicator is green, and the Flash
mode is selec ted when it is toward the LED and the

Scan Talkback
When a message is received when scanning, this
parameter selects how the radio responds during the
call hang time. “Selected Group” forces it to transmit
on the selected talk group, and “Active Group” forces
it to transmit on the scanned or active talk group.
Voice On Control
With Smar tZone operation, some remote sites ar e
designated Voice On Control sites. In these sites, if all
available traffic channels are occupied, control channels become traffic channels when additional traffic
channels are requested. The Voice On Control parameters determine how the radio reacts to various situations that may occur. For example, when a conversation is complete, the radio may look for a control
channel that has become a traffic channel.

SYSTEMS AND CHANNELS
3.5.1 INTRODUCTION
The following information describes how
conventional channels are programmed. Conventional
systems do not need to be set up because only one can
be programmed, and it is automatically set up when
the programming file is selected as described in
Section 3.1.6. Up to 256 conventional chann el s can be
programmed (if no SMARTNET/SmartZone systems
are programmed). Refer to Section 1.5.3 for more
information on systems and channels.
The following is the recommended procedure for
programming conventional channels:
The radio-wide Mobile Options screen is used to
program the following parameters:
Backlight Level
- Selects the defaul t backlight level
whenever power is on. This setting can be overridden by the backlight option switch if it is
programmed.
Hang-Up Box Monitor
- Selecting “Off” disables
microphone off-hook detection. Taking the microphone off-hook th en does not disable coded squel ch
functions or scanning. Selecting “On” enables
microphone off-hook detection.
Ignition Power Down Time
- When the ignition
switch controls transceiver power , this sets the delay
that occurs between when the ignition switch is
turned off and when transceiver power actually
turns off. Times of 0-254 minutes can be
programmed or an infinite time (no turn-of f) can be
selected (Section 2.3.9).
1. Program the radio- wide info rmation as descr ibed in
Section 3.4.
2. If other types of systems are programmed, make
sure the conventional system is selected in the left
pane or by sele cting Window > Conventional in t he
menu bar (see Section 3.1.9).
3. Program the conventional system information and
then the channel information as follows.

as described in Section 2.3.11. User editing can be
enabled and disabled on each scan list.
Scan Mode
Sets the channel on which transmissions occur
when the PTT switch is pressed while scanning. A
different mode can be programmed for each scan list.
In addition, it selects if priority samp ling is used and
also the type of priority channel (see the “Priority
Channel” description which follows). The following
modes are available:
No Priority - Priority sampling does not occur (all
channels are scanned in sequence). The radio transmits on the selected channel.
Priority/Tx Priority - Priority sampling occurs
and the priority channel is the one programmed in
the selected scan list. The radio transmits on the
priority channel.
Priority/Tx Selected - Priority sampling occurs
and the priority channel is the one programmed in
the selected scan list. The radio transmits on the
selected channel.
Priority on Sel Chan - The priority chann el is
always the selected channel (even if the scan list is
programmed with a priority channel). The radio
transmits on the selected channel.
Talkback Scan - No priority sampling occurs
(even if the scan list is programmed with a priority
channel). The radio transmits on the channel of a
call while scanning is halted. Then when scanning
resumes, it transmits on the selected channel.
Scan Timers
rect Call Guard (CTCSS/DCS) code is detected.
Since it takes much longer to detect an incorrect
Call Guard signal tha n a carrier, this time should be
relatively long to prevent the interruptions from
making a message difficul t to unders tand. Times of
0.5-8.0 seconds can be programmed in 0.5-second
steps.
Priority Channel Selection
The Scan Mode parameter in the preceding
Conventional System Scan List screen selects if
priority channel sampling is enabled on the selected
scan list. It also selects the type of priority channel
(either fixed or the selected) if applicable.
If the “Priority/Tx Priority” or “Priority/Selected”
mode is programmed, fixed priority channel sampling
is selected. The fixed priority channel must then be
chosen for the scan list. To do this, click the
button in the preceding Modify Sca n List
screen and then select the desired zone/channel. Refer
to Section 2.4.12 for more information on priority
channel sampling.

The alignment procedure des cribed in this secti on
should be performed if repairs are made that could
affect the factory alignment. In addition, before a
transceive r is initially placed in service, the performance tests described in Section 4.8 should be
performed.
To perform the alignment described in this
section, special PCTune software (see Table 1-1) and
the same basic computer setup used for programming
is required. This equipment is shown above and also
described in Section 3.1. Remote Programming Interface (RPI), Part No. 023-9800-000, or others can be
used (except 023-5300-000). The speaker and microphone audio jacks on the 9800 RPI are not required in
this application.
50-ohm
Load
Signal Generator/
Comm. Monitor
With 800 MHz models, only thr ee or four adjus tments are made manually and the others are made
digitally using the PCTune software. The manual
adjustments tune th e IF and high p ower PA, and set the
TCXO frequency. If they do not need to be reset, the
transceiver can be tuned without removing the top or
bottom covers.
This transceiver does not have a spe cial test mode
that is selected. The PCTune software automatically
selects the frequencies and other test conditions that
are required to perform the alignment. If the transceiver must be controlled manually to perform such
things as testing or troubleshooting, program temporary conventional channels.
4.1.2 TEST SETUP
Connect the test setup shown in Figure 4-1. Additional information follows on equipment in this setup.

ALIGNMENT AND PERFORMANCE TESTS
RF Signal Generator - When connecting the generator to the antenna jack, use at least a 6 dB pad
between the generator and transceiver. This protects
the generator if the transmitter is accidentally keyed
and also ensures that a 50-ohm load exists. The input
levels listed in the PCTune screens are at the antenna
jack, so increase the generator output accordingly.
Power Source - Typical current when transmitting is 7
amperes with 15-watt models, and 11 amperes with
30-watt models. Therefore, a power supply capable of
producing that current at 13.6 volts is required.
Wattmeter/Load - The wattmeter and dummy load
must measure and dissipate up to approximately 30
watts. For accurate power output measurement at 800
MHz, use a minimum number of connectors with a
Teflon or better dielectric. If coaxial cable is used, it
should be a minimum length of a low-loss type.
Speaker Load - The speaker load is connected to the
1/8” phone jack on the back of the transceiver.
Computer and RPI - The RPI is connected to the
computer and transceiver as described in Section
3.1.4. RPI, Part No. 023-9800-000 or other RPIs
(except 023-5300-000) can be used as described in the
preceding section.
