Most of the special features detailed below must be enabled during programming of the T2020
II
. Con-
sult your Tait dealer to find out which of these features have been enabled in your radio.
Alphanumeric Entry Mode
The T2020
II
contains a number of memory locations which are able to be accessed with an alphanu-
meric entry or label, from the keypad. The alphanumeric label may be the same as a channel name or
it may be a quite separate word, person’s name or acronym which helps you find the appropriate
memory location. Each location contains information which selects a channel scan group, makes a
Selcall or DTMF call or selects a new Selcall status code.
Select a memory location by its alphanumeric label, as follows:
1. Press the Alphanumeric (
) key to enter Alphanumeric mode.
2. Locate the desired label by using the Up and Down (
/ ) keys to scroll through the
list until the label is displayed. Alternatively, enter the label associated with the party you want,
using the keypad.
A star appears in the display as you type each character, until you have entered enough for the
radio to recognise the label. When it does, it displays the label in full. Pressing the Enter key
causes any instructions (channel selection, send call, and so on) contained in the memory
location to be carried out.
3. Press the Channel (
Ch
) key and the display changes from the label to the channel name. (The
radio may be programmed to return to the channel name display after a short while, anyway.)
Example:
You wish to call your BASE, which monitors a channel called REGION2 and has the Selcall
code 24624. The sequence of keystrokes, and the corresponding display characters that appear, is as
follows:
