I am on a Volunteer Fire Department and 911 is asking that we program our radios to show our individual radio identifier. Is it even possible with this type of radio? If so what steps do I take to do it? I have the software.
If you want the radio to broadcast your call automatically, I don't think I can help you or that the radio can do that.
However, if you want your name or callsign to show up on the screen, I can give you a solution... sort of.
You could program an alternate channel (A/B) that you never use, with your name or what ever.
In channel mode push menu and push up/down arrows or rotate knob until you find menue 26. In that menue you can program one letter at a time and put in whatever you want.
Or you can program a name in that nobody can change or tamper with unless they use computer software by using a chirp cable. Be careful to get a good cable some of the really cheap ones don't work and a few can even break the radio. There is a special box in the computer software where you can type in the welcom message that comes up when you turn the raio on.https://youtu.be/pUv92tJk_8s?t=717 this video shows the screen. Where it says the radio name under "power on message" you just delete the text and type whatever you want.
SOURCE: Tekk nt 80 two way radio repair manual
Tekk did not release the schematics to this radio. To the best of our knowledge Tekk International is the only one repairing them. On their older units we were able to get schematics, but once they migrated to the NT series, XT series and GT series, no manuals have been available.
SOURCE: the radios will not transmit to one another.
Check your programming, you may have your interference eliminator set differently between the two radios. Here's a link to the user manual: http://www.giantintl.com/ContentManage/manuals/Moto/T4800_UserGuide.pdf
SOURCE: TK 380 not transmiting
Its most likely was programmed with a rx but no tx. Meaning it can recieve but not transmit, you can fix this with the programing software.
SOURCE: makes loud tone when pushing ptt button
The ptt switch or circuit is not disconnecting the audio circuit. Open the unit up and check the wiring, interconnect plugs for something shorted not canceling the receiver audio.
Your radios could be programmed with subaudible tones (CTCSS) or digital code squelch (DCS) which the new radios do not have. They can be programmed for it, you need to find out what tone/code you are using.
It could also be that your existing radios are programmed for a "duplex" repeater channel, with different transmit and receive frequencies. The new radios might be on the "repeater output" frequency so they would not activate the repeater.
Both could be the case, missing tone and duplex frequencies.
I would check the programming of the new and old radios, especially for tone/code squelch.
