IDAS OPERATION

IDAS operation ■

The transceiver provides Icom Digital Advanced System
(IDAS) that meets the 6.25 kHz emission mask requirements
for narrow banding, and increases efficiency of channel al­location and use of spectrum using the NXDN common air
interface.

IDAS Conventional operation D

The IDAS Conventional system enables efficient conventional
operation in the digital mode.

Push [Zone], then push [CH Up] or [CH Down] to select the ➥
conventional zone.

Multi-site conventional operation D

The Multi-site Conventional system can support up to 16
sites (each site has one repeater) through an IP network, and
enables efficient conventional operation in the digital mode.

Push [Zone], then push [CH Up] or [CH Down] to select the ➥
Multi-site conventional zone.

Single-site Trunking operation D

The Single-site Trunking system enables further effective
channel management by sharing a minimum number of chan­nels with a large number of users.

Push [Zone], then push [CH Up] or [CH Down] to select a ➥
Single-site Trunk zone.

Multi-site Trunking operation D

The Multi-site Trunking system can support up to 48 trunked
sites through an IP network. This enables the users to com­municate with stations through the interlinked trunked site.
Each site can have up to 30 repeaters.

Push [Zone], then push [CH Up] or [CH Down] to select the ➥
Multi-site Trunk zone.

NOTE: During the Single-site or Multi-site Trunking opera­tion, you can receive and transmit digital calls in the same
way as in the conventional mode.
