adjacent site channel information
the radios are designed to monitor signal quality from the system and automatically switch to the strongest signal. this provides better speech quality and helps reduce interference and background noises.
auto acknowledge
every time the radio is called, the radio sends back a verification that the call has been received.
audio clarity
the noise cancelling microphones and "tailored response" loudspeakers fitted as standard with the gm 600 provide greater speech clarity when used in high noise environments. in addition to this, the volume of the tones produced by the radio can be adjusted to suit your working environment.
base call
a single push of the base call button can automatically connect you to your office or supervisor....it's that easy!
battery saver
minimises power consumption for extra talk-time and assures you adequate battery power each and every time you need it.
call barring
the radios can be programmed to prevent the user from making certain types of call, for example telephone calls, or the keypad may be locked to prevent any numbers being 'dialled' from the keypad. with the keypad locked, calls can only be made from the short form dial list or the base call button. this provides greater financial control and prevents the user being busy with unauthorised calls.
call control
calls can only be made from the pre-programmed dedicated call list or from the dedicated call buttons. this provides greater financial control, and prevents the user being busy with unauthorised calls.
call diversion
allows you to divert all incoming calls. no need to miss a call because you are away from your radio.
call duration timer
every time your conversation begins, a call timer in the display lets you know how long you’ve been speaking for. a tone is also sounded to warn you that 10 seconds of the call remains.
call in absence
if an individual call is received and not answered, the radio will store and display the identity of the calling party. on return to the radio, audible and visual call in absence alerts are given. this simple paging system avoids the frustration of continuously trying to get hold of someone when their radio is unattended.
conventional mode (trunked radios)
pl channels can be pre-programmed into the radio in addition to the trunking operation.
ctcss (private line)
a simple tone system that minimises disturbance from cochannel sharers, as only calls intended for your group are heard. this greatly reduces operator fatigue and confusion arising from irrelevant messages. the private line (pl) tone can be different on each channel, giving extra communications flexibility.
dedicated call
a single push of the dedicated call button can automatically connect you to your office.
dedicated call buttons
each of the mobiles have up to four dedicated call buttons. a single push of one of these buttons can automatically connect you to pre-stored radio, status or telephone numbers.

dtmf
with the keypad models of visar and an appropriate infrastructure, it's possible to access telephone systems, thus creating your own communication network betwwen your fixed phones and mobile radio users.
emergency
the radio has the ability to be programmed to respond to emergency situations to protect the user. the radio can also be fitted with a user specified hidden microphone.
enhanced audio
a built in noise cancelling microphone reduces background noise to provide clear intelligable transmissions.
external call alert
this facility is ideal for people working in the vicinity of their vehicle. when the radio is fitted with the appropriate hardware, an incoming call will trigger the vehicle’s horn or lights thus alerting the user.
fleet call
scroll through the full fleet and group range, and make a call to any selected user or group by pressing the 'push to talk' button.
flexible channel plan
allows a non contiguous channel plan to be programmed into the radio for trunked operation.
fully synthesised
allows your local authorised motorola radius dealer to quickly programme frequency and private line characteristics. this provides off the shelf delivery and reduced down time, keeping your radio system flexible so that it can continue to meet your changing communication needs.
full wideband operation
visar covers the full bandwidth, 136-174 mhz in vhf and 403-470 mhz in uhf giving more flexibility than ever before.
id display
when an individual call is received, the radio displays the identity of the calling unit. this visual information about who is calling greatly enhances the simplicity of the communication system, and saves time on each conversation.
ignition sense
the gm 600 radios can be wired so as to be activated by the vehicle ignition switch so that there is no risk of a "flat" battery if the vehicle is unused for long periods.
incoming id display
a two digit id appears in the display to reveal who is calling you before you answer.
internal voice operated transmit (vox)
activated by low cost headsets for true hands free operation. rather than adding vox electronics into every accessory you buy, it is already built into the radio for added reliability.
internal loudspeaker
a front facing internal loudspeaker provides clear reception, and simplifies installation.
ip54
ip54 is a european standard that assures protection against shock vibration, dust and rain ingress.
keypad dialing
the gp 600 can make keypad dialled calls to any permitted destination and can also make 'tone overdial' calls into services such as voice mail and advanced telephone facilities.
keypad lock
the keypad may be locked to prevent any numbers being ‘dialled’ from the keypad. with the keypad locked, calls can only be made from either the stored number memory or one of the dedicated call keys. this provides a level of operational control so that radios may be restricted to prevent unauthorised calls.
keypad edit
after dialling a number, errors can be easily corrected by pressing the edit key.
last number re-dial
the last number called can be recalled by simply double pressing the 'push to talk' button, saving time when repeatedly calling the same destination.
lcd display (see display)
local area operation
improved interference protection for congested urban use, giving clearer reception with less chance of "garbled" messages. programmable per channel.
led display
the two digit green led display clearly shows operating channel number and scan list details. three coloured leds indicate channel monitor, scan and transmit modes.
low battery warning
an audible and visual low battery warning is given when the battery voltage falls below a pre-set level, allowing the user to change or recharge batteries before communication is lost.
microphones
a range of microphones are available for portable and mobile radios to enhance day to day operation, for example a noise cancelling microphones fitted with portables and mobiles provide greater speech clarity when used in high noise environments.
mil std 810c, d& e
tough u.s. military standards that ensure a high level of protection against shock vibration, dust and rain ingress.
multicall/group call
the radio is capable as standard of using the motorola select 5 signalling schemes and can either make individual calls or group calls to other users.
multicall keypad
provides individual calling of a select 5 radio without disturbing others within your system. as easy as using a telephone!
multiple personalities
the radios can work on up to four different networks giving greater flexibility of coverage. the same function can be used to extend the stored number lists and the number of dedicated calls available in the radio for use on one network.
network check
each time a radio is switched on, it automatically self checks and then confirms that the network is operational and in range.
network operation
motorola trunked radios contain powerful software that works away in the background to ensure that the radios always select the best channel for your call. motorola technology also provides the most sensitive receivers, together these two features ensure that you always get the best speech quality and reduced interference.
power switching
the gp 600 portable has the capability to switch between high power for maximum range and low power for battery saving.
priority calls
where permitted the gm 600 can make high priority and emergency calls, this facility can be triggered by a dedicated button on the radio, by a foot switch or other external device. this means that emergency calls can be easily made and will be routed ahead of other routine traffic on the network.
priority channel scan
user-programmable priority channel scan gives the radio operator the ability to programme a list of channels to be scanned, from the keypad. two channels of increased importance, for example a security and community repeater channel, may be designated as priority 1 and priority 2 channels within the scan list, and monitored more frequently.
private line (see ctcss)
private line lockout
prevents both transmission on a busy channel and reception of unauthorised transmissions, keeping lines of communication clear, ideal for community repeater operation where wide area coverage is important.
programmable channel spacing
you can now operate between systems with different channel bandwidths without having to change the radio or compromise on performance.
programmable power levels
so that the users can fully tailor the radio to their requirement the power levels within the radio are programmable.
programming
users can have the capability to program or re-program user facilities such as dial lists using a simple, easy to understand graphical program running on a standard pc. motorola have designed this software to provide maximum flexibility for users without the risk of important network features being accidentally changed.
remote mount kit
where space is at a premium, or where security is important, the control head of the radio can be mounted under, over, or on the dash of your vehicle, whilst the transceiver itself is remotely installed out of sight in the boot or under a seat.
scan
the user can programme a series of channels into predefined scan lists. channels can also have priority levels assigned to them. this means that important messages can be received even if the user is engaged on another conversation.
scan nuisance channel delete
when irrelevant conversations on a "nuisance" channel tie up your radio’s scan feature, you can temporarily remove this channel from the scan list at the press of a button.
select 5 signalling
individual or designated group calling provides more efficient communications. all six major european signalling formats (zvei, ccir, 70ms ccir, eea, french zvei, modified zvei) are programmable. select 5 encode/decode is available with pl encode/decode, allowing individual calling when using community repeater operation. a calling tone is automatically emitted from the radio of the person you wish to call alerting them to respond to the call. other radio users on your system will not hear the tone and therefore will not be disturbed.
stored number recall/shortform dialling
there is no need to use the keypad to dial frequently called numbers. up to 40 stored radio, status. pabx or pstn numbers can be recalled using a simple quick dial feature. just select the number or name you require by scrolling through the stored list, and send the call by pressing the push to talk button.
selective and fleet calling
all versions of the gm 600 trunked radios can make a complete range of calls available on the network, including individual and group calls to other radios and calls to the telephone network.
selective calling
in the same way as a pager operates, you can contact either specific groups or an individual whilst screening the message from others in the system.
status calls
pre-programmed messages can be sent by the radio, eliminating the need for speech calls for frequently used messages.
stored number recall
up to 11 stored radio, status, or telephone numbers can be recalled using a simple quick dial feature. just select the number you require by scrolling through the stored list, and send the call by pressing the 'push to talk' button.
storing of partially dialled numbers
any number entered via the keypad but not dialled is temporarily stored by the radio.
stun/unstun
this useful feature allows stolen radios to be rendered unusable.
switchable channel spacing
a useful feature for all users who need to change from between 25khz, 20khz and 12.5khz systems. all channel spacings are programmable on a per channel basis. this feature can also be used to link in one radio two previously incompatible systems such as marine and land based systems.
system wide calls
important system wide calls can be received informing the radio operator of system shut downs etc.
time-out timer
transmissions are terminated after a pre-programmed interval, and a warning tone is produced for as long as the ptt is depressed.
trunked or conventional operation
the gm 600 mobiles can also be programmed to work in conventional radio systems for easy integration and operation with existing radio systems.
unattended operation
no need to miss a call because you are away from your radio. the motorola trunked radio continues to monitor the radio channels for calls. incoming calls can be stored and recalled later when the operator returns. this simple paging system avoids the frustration of continuously trying to get hold of someone when their radio is unattended
unit identification (ani) with status
provides numeric display of calling portable on the display of the desktop controller. seeing who is calling saves time, especially in larger systems or where priority messages are important. using the keypad, the radio operator may vary a status message contained within the identification signal.
