2 MDC 1200 OPERATION

MDC 1200 system operation

The MDC 1200 signaling system enhances your transceiver’s capabilities. It allows PTT ID, Selective Calling, CallAlert, Radio Check, Stun, Revive, Status, Messaging and Emergency signaling. Also, the dispatcher can stun and revive transceivers on the system.

An additional feature of MDC 1200 found in Icom transceivers is called aliasing. Each transceiver on the system has a unique ID number. Aliasing allows the substitution of an alphanumeric name for this ID number. For transmit, you can use this alias to select a transceiver to call. For receive, the alias of the calling station is displayed instead of the ID.

Please note that your dealer has set one of the programmable keys (IC-F70 series: [EMERGENCY], [UP], [DOWN],

[MONITOR], [P0], [P1], [P2] and [P3], IC-F1700 series: [UP]*, [DOWN]*, [P0], [P1], [P2], [P3] and [P4]) for MDC 1200 operation.

* IC-F1810, IC-F1821/D, IC-F2810 and IC-F2821/D only

NOTE: In this operating guide, the following functions are

assigned to the IC-F70 series for LCD description.
