RAN is a new signaling system designed only for digital radio communications.
The operation is the same as the analog QT/ DQT signaling.
When a channel is set up with a RAN, squelch will only open when a call containing
a matching RAN is received. Likewise, signals that you transmit will only be heard
by parties whose RAN signaling matches your transceiver.
If a call containing a different RAN is made on the same channel you are using,
squelch will not open and you will not hear the call. This allows you to ignore (not
hear) these calls.
opTionAl SignAling
Your dealer may also program several types of option signaling for your
transceiver channels.
2-tone Signaling: 2-tone Signaling opens the squelch only when your
transceiver receives a call containing matching 2 tones.
DTMF Signaling: DTMF Signaling opens the squelch only when the transceiver
receives a call containing a matching DTMF code. Refer to “DTMF (DUAL TONE
MULTI FREQUENCY) CALLS” on page 20.
FleetSync Signaling: Refer to “SELCALL (SELECTIvE CALLINg)” on page 17.
NXDN ID Signaling: NXDN ID is an optional signaling system available only for
digital communications.
