To use Public Address, an optional KAP-2 and external speaker for Public Address are required.
0
In an NXDN Trunking system (Message Trunked (Enhanced)), Public Address is disabled when the reception of a call is
0
initiated by using a traffic channel, such as an Individual Call, Group Call, and Broadcast Group Call. On the other hand,
even if the transceiver receives a call initiated by using only a control channel such as a Status Call and Short Data Call,
Public Address will not be disabled.
In a P25 Trunking system, Public Address is disabled if an Individual Call, Paging Call or Telephone Call is received.
0
Public Address is disabled if a zone or channel is changed.
0
In an NXDN Conventional system, if an Individual Call ACK request message is received when Automatic Response is
0
disabled, Public Address is disabled.
If Public Address is used by operating the PTT switch or External PTT (Voice) port, the configuration of Modulation
0
Line (MI, MI2, DI) applies to the configuration of Mic Line. However, the Mic Lines of MI2 and DI cannot be used at the
same time. Also, if Public Address is used by operating the External PTT (PA) port, MI2 Line is used as the microphone
input line.
If a Bluetooth-compatible device connecting by Headset Profile exists, the Mic Line of the Bluetooth-compatible device
0
is enabled. Therefore, if audio is inputted into the Mic Line of the Bluetooth-compatible device by operating one of the
PTT switch, External PTT (Voice) port, External PTT (PA) port, or the PTT switch of the Bluetooth-compatible device
while Public Address is enabled, audio is emitted from the transceiver regardless of the configuration of Bluetooth
Speaker.
Even while audio is emitted from an external speaker by pressing the PTT switch when Public Address is enabled, a
0
signal can be received. However, the received audio is not emitted even if the received signal satisfies the conditions to
unmute the speaker. Also, even if various messages other than P25 Radio Inhibit/ Uninhibit and P25 Radio Check are
received, reception behaviors such as the response behavior and the matching behavior are not executed.
