MDC 1200 system operation
The MDC 1200 signaling system enhances your transceiver’s
capabilities. It allows PTT ID, Selective Calling (SelCall), Call
Alert, Radio Check, Stun, Revive, Status, Messaging and
Emergency signaling.
An additional feature of the MDC 1200 system included in
Icom transceivers is called aliasing. Each transceiver on the
system has a unique ID number. Aliasing allows the substi-
tution of an alphanumeric name for this ID number. In trans-
mit, you can use this alias to select a transceiver to call. In
receive, the alias of the calling station is displayed instead of
the ID.
Please confirm that your dealer has set one of the program-
mable keys (
