Summary explanation of the function of the command
Controller → Radio

Command format
Radio → Controller
Response format

NOTE

1. Any command is required to wait a response from the scanner, then, next command will be
acceptable.

2. All memory access commands are acceptable in only Program Mode.
Use PRG command to enter Program Mode, and EPG command to exit.

3. Error message isn't described in this document, but the scanner returns error message to the
controller as follows.

1) Command format error / Value error : ERR[\r]

2) The command is invalid at the time : NG[\r]

3) Framing error : FER[\r]

4) Overrun error : ORER[\r]

4. [\r] means "to hit the Enter key" or "to send the Return code".

5. Several commands or responses with long format are described like multi-line because of the page
width but their formats are only single line, actually.

6. In set command, only "," parameters are not changed.

7. The set command is aborted if any format error is detected.

8. [INDEX] or [xxx_INDEX] is the index of internal memory chain.
Dynamic Memory Allocation Structure always uses it as a handle to access data and to trace
forward/reverse or up/down index.

The range of the index is from 0 to maximum memory block (about 20064).

9. [FRQ], [BASEx] and [LIMIT_x] are frequency format.
It is showed by 8 digit number without decimal point.
The order of the digits is from 1 GHz digit to 100 Hz digit.

ex. 08510125 means 851.0125MHz

10. [TGID] shows TGID format. The formats depend on Trunked System Type.

See another Appendix to get further information.

11. [NAME] shows each custom name. If user set only space character, the name will

return to default name.

12. [LATITUDE] shows North or South Latitude.
The data shows “DDMMSSssL” at DMS Format.
