The default Mute Adjustment range is from 0 – 15. The mute adjustment setting will
be applied to all the radio’s analogue channels.
The SDM600 series radios have a carrier noise mute and it is recommended that a
default mute setting of 4 is used. This means that, with a setting of 4, the mute will
open at the point where an analogue signal is sufficiently noise free to be intelligible.
Other settings are as follows:
• 0 No muting. Allows all decodable signals to the radio user’s audio output device
(loudspeaker, headset etc.).
• 4 Normal default setting.
• 8 Only reasonably strong signals will be heard.
• 15 Only very strong or near perfect signals will be heard.
Use the ▼ and ▲ keys to adjust the mute threshold. Press the ‘S’ key to save the
selected mute setting and return to the previous screen.
Direct access to the ‘Mute Adjust’ screen from other screens can also be programmed
to one of the function buttons with the FPP.
6.6. CONTACT MENU
The Contact Menu allows user to select the communication entity they wish to call, e.g.
individual radio unit (UID or SUID), talk group of radio units (TGID), group of addresses,
dialled external network access gateway (phone, internet, other radio networks,
dispatchers), and PABX/PSTN.
Up to 20 Contact Lists can be created and programmed into the Radio with the FPP.
Each Contact List can have up to 600 entries. Each Contact List is assigned on a per
“Channel” basis in the Zone set up section of the FPP.
Therefore, the Contact list displayed via the Contact menu is the Contact List assigned
to the radio’s currently selected Channel. This ensures that a user can’t select a
Contact who uses a different mode than the one selected.
