- Station ID - While programming, the Station ID needs to be the
four letter call sign and the fifth
digit needs to be a forward slash (/). Example - KGRE/FM. The
forward slash is necessary
for some encoder/decoders to recognize this station.
- Origination Code - The origination code is what your station
is. This should be "Broadcast System".
- TwoTone Alert Signal - The FCC allows for the TwoTone alert to be
only 8 seconds.
- Terms - When you come to your "Term" window where you
pick the events that you want programmed, note that there are four terms that are listed
that you do not want to program for. They are the four events the
FCC is concerned about and they are already pre-set in your unit.
They are:
1. E.A.N. - Emergency Action
Notification - Set for Priority 1.
2. E.A.T. - Emergency Action
Termination - Set for Priority 1.
3. R.M.T. - Required Monthly Test - Set
for Priority 1 in V1.4 chip.
4. R.W.T. - Required Weekly Test - This
test is meant to be transmitted by you, whenever you so desire. Do Not
retransmit an R.W.T.
Do Not put these four in your term list. You may add up to sixteen
terms of your own choice.
- View Action Details - With each term, you have three action codes
to choose from.
1. Enable Voice Announcement - If you
"X" this one, it will allow the speaker on the front panel of the HU-961 to say
"Hot Message", "Hot Message", etc., when one of the four FCC event
codes, or one of the terms that you programmed is received.
2. Enable Output Message Control - I do
not believe you will want to "X" this. This allows the message,
but the message only, of an event that you have programmed to go on the air immediately.
3. Enable Remote Alarm Output - An "X" in
this box will enable Pin 2 on the HU-961. This will allow you to wire up a light or
bell to let you know that a message has come in. It does not hurt to have this
marked even if you are not using Pin 2.
