2-3 IP Classification Codes

A simple explanation of the IP rating system is written below. Please refer to more specialized information material if you wish to know more.International Standard IEC 60529 outlines an international classification system that describes the sealingcharacteristics of electrical equipment. The classification system defines the level of protection provided byenclosures to prevent the ingress of foreign objects and moisture into the electrical equipment. The classification system uses the “IP” code, or “Ingress Protection” code, to define the level of seal. An IP number contains two numbers (i.e. IP67) in most instances which relate to the level of protection provided by an enclosure or housing. Either number may be shown as “X” (i.e. IPX6 / IP7X) to indicate the “X” part is not tested.

BackgroundBackgroundBackgroundBackgroundAs existing spectrum becomes increasingly scarce, the demand for more options grows. The FCC essentially created additional spectrum by adding hundreds of new licenses with 6.25 kHz bandwidth. To take advantage of this opportunity, Icom and Kenwood entered into a joint agreement to develop 6.25 kHz technology. This technology is a new digital communications protocol that provides quality voice and data, and is designed as a non-proprietary protocol. It accomplishes this by using 4LFSK (4-Level Frequency Shift Keying) and FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access).

HistoryHistoryHistoryHistoryThis technology was developed in response to an FCC

Other methods were also considered, including ACSB and the proposed APCO Project 25 Phase II CQPSK. However, both required a more expensive linear amplifier in the transmitter and neither is compatible with existing analog FM hardware.

Instead, 4LFSK modulation was selected using FDMA for transmission. This method has a number of advantages:

• better communication range• simpler design• easy to maintain and service• lower cost for business and industry customers• compatible with existing FM radio hardware

9

This technology was developed in response to an FCC revision of the rules concerning transmitters in the 150MHz to 174MHz and 421MHz to 512MHz range. To receive FCC certification after January 1st 2005, transmitters must have proved compliant as a multi-mode device. This requirement could be achieved by using 6.25 kHz channel bandwidth. In addition to the FCC requirement, Europe and Japan are also moving toward 6.25 kHz technologies. Because some in the industry believed that this requirement could not be met by 2005, the FCC suspended this requirement. (A new deadline of January 1st 2011 has been set.)

Icom, however, went ahead to meet this requirement. It was impossible to do using analog technology, so it became necessary to develop a new digital protocol.

Icom’s first radio with this technology is the F3061/F4061. To enable backwards compatibility, the radio is both analog and digital and also works in 25 kHz and 12.5 kHz channel bandwidths (conventional and LTR™ trunked operation in analog mode).

This new digital protocol, NXDN™ (Next Generation Digital Narrowband) has been registered as a trademark by Icom Inc. and Kenwood Corporation. The IDAS (Icom Digital Advanced System) is the system based on this NXDN™ technology.

The product range is steadily expanding , from Handheld Transceivers to Mobile Transceivers to Repeaters. All products are/will be available for VHF and UHF bands.

6.25 kHz FDMA Technology

Icom’s has implemented this technology in the F3161/F3163 series. Backwards compatibility to analog only radios enables a planned migration path to “digital” with existing radios operating analog only and new radios operating analog and digital.

Narrowband migration has not succeeded because of any incentive to do so.

Codec Rate : 3600 (Voice 2,450 + Error Correction 1,150 bps)

Modulation with 4LFSK uses a symbol mapping scheme.When the radio receives a binary number, that numberis mapped to a symbol, which is interpreted as a1050Hz frequency deviation.The deviation is detected, filtered and “unmapped” as abinary signal for transmission.

RangeRangeRangeRangeAudio quality over distance is also greatly improved with Icom’s 6.25 kHz technology. Instead of the early degradation of audio that you see in an analog signal, the 6.25 kHz digital audio quality remains higher over a comparable distance.

A channel is defined by the deviation either side of the center line frequency. Migrating from a 25 kHz channel to a 12.5 kHz channel on the same centerline frequency is a 1-for-1 move. There is no increase in the capacity to load radio users.There are 500 new 6.25 kHz frequencies (VHF and UHF) available now. Most are unused because no 6.25 kHz radios were available. With Icom’s FDMA technology, frequency coordinators have total flexibility to either assign a 6.25 kHz channel within an existing 25 kHz or 12.5 kHz channel or as a stand-alone frequency some where else on the band. Frequency coordinator will coordinate channels for minimum adjacent channel interference.

Because the emission mask is tight, 6.25 kHz channels can be used next to each other without causing interference. The bandwidth measurements below show the 6.25kHz FDMA signal meets the FCC designated emission mask requirements.

The figure on the left is the emission mask for a 6.25 kHz channel. The Icom 6.25kHz FDMA signal clearly operates within the mask. Accordingly, the FCC certified the F3061/4061 as the first ever 6.25 kHz radio.

The figure on the right is the emission mask for a 12.5 kHz channel. With a 12.5 kHz channel, you can create two offset 6.25 kHz channels.

Using 6.25 kHz channels offset from the center of a 25 kHz channel, it is possible to fit four 6.25 kHz channels into the 25 kHz bandwidth. To do this, a waiver from the FCC is required*. Using this scheme, the four frequencies are now offset 3.125 kHz from the original 25 kHz channel center frequency.

VHF offers even more opportunities due to its original 30 kHz channel width plan. When the FCC moved to 25 kHz and then 12.5 kHz an overlap was created requiring geographical separation between two contiguous channels. For example, 3 contiguous could not be used at the same location.

In this example, a gateway to the internet is attached to each repeater. This enables networks to be built using the internet as part of the infrastructure.

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 MDC 1200 system found in Icom transceivers is called aliasing. Each transceiver on the system has a unique ID number. Aliasing allows the substitution of an alphanumeric name for this ID number. For transmit, you can use this alias to select a transceiver to call. For receive, the alias of the calling station is displayed instead of the ID.

Please note that your dealer has set one of the programmable keys ([EMR][EMR][EMR][EMR], [Side1][Side1][Side1][Side1], [Side2][Side2][Side2][Side2], [Side3][Side3][Side3][Side3],[P0][P0][P0][P0], [P1][P1][P1][P1], [P2] [P2] [P2] [P2] and [P3] [P3] [P3] [P3] ) for MDC 1200 system operation.

What is 2What is 2What is 2What is 2----Tone Signalling?Tone Signalling?Tone Signalling?Tone Signalling?

1. Originally called “Quick Call”, this signalling protocol was developed by Motorola in the 1950’s.

2. 2-Tone (Quick Call) was designed to add Squelch specificity especially for emergency service radios.

3. LMR consists of two distinct signals sent over the air to a radio or a group.

4. Each tone can be configured within a 250 Hz and 3300 Hz tone frequency.

in the proximity of the radio. This is also very useful in emergency cases where the user may not be able to trigger the microphone.

5. “Stun/Kill – This function allows the dispatch console to disable, temporarily or permanently, a unit using the 2-Tone capabilities. When “Stun” is used, the unit may regain its functionality by entering a password. When Kill is used, the radio only regains functionality by reprogramming the unit using the cloning software.

LMR PMR

64

5. Normally, the duration of the tones varies from one (1) to three (3) seconds in length no space between the tones. Tone lengths of up to 10 seconds are commonly seen in existing applications.

6. ICOM radios allow variable tone periods and spaces (no tone) between the tones.

2222----Tone Features Tone Features Tone Features Tone Features

1. “Selective Calling” – allows the dispatch console to page an individual unit. Early models only allowed 1 (one) encoding tone set per channel or up to 3 (three) receive tones in the radio. Newer ICOM radios allows the programming of up to 10 (ten) tones that can be used all in one channel if necessary.

2. “Group Calling” - allows the dispatch console to page a group.

3. “Answer Back Call” – Also known as “Radio Check” allows the dispatch console or another portable, to send a tone to a particular radio and when the target radio receives the tone it answers back with another tone. This function serves as a tool to verify if a unit is “ON” and within range.

4. “Auto Transmit” – Also known as “Radio Spy” allows the dispatcher to send a 2-Tone signal to the radio causing it to open its transmitter microphone audio (Hot Mic) in order to listen to whatever is happening

6. “Scan Start/Cancel” – Using 2-Tone a dispatcher can send a signal to a radio or a group to commence the “Scan” function of the radio. If used with a group of users, this feature allows the dispatcher to regroup everyone in a different, but common channel. This feature is also known as “Radio Regroup”.

ICOM ICOM ICOM ICOM 2222----Tone Tone Tone Tone Radio Enhancements include:Radio Enhancements include:Radio Enhancements include:Radio Enhancements include:1. RX Code Text – Allows the programmer to add an

“Alpha Numeric” text tag to each tone for identification at decode and encode if the unit has a display.

2. Variable Signals – This allows the user/programmer to set the “Beep and Bell” to different formats for easier identification when a signal is received.

3. Tones Assignable on a Channel by Channel Basis –The newer Icom radios allow the programmer to enter in ten (10) tone sets, which can be used for both encode AND decode if necessary. Each channel has the capability to use all tones for both encode and decode, if programmed correctly.

4. Multiple Tone Sets per Channel – This also allows the programmer to set all ten (10) tones on a single channel if it was deemed necessary. Each channel allows a programmer to use a combination of tones per channel as needed.

1. The 5-Tone signalling protocol consists of a fast data burst of one (1) to seven (7) frequency tones that can selectively signal a radio.

Why chose 5Why chose 5Why chose 5Why chose 5----Tone?Tone?Tone?Tone?1. 5-Tone is a non-proprietary signalling protocol that

allows the Icom radio to inter-operate with other brands using the 5-Tone signalling.

2. This protocol also allows a mixed fleet operation.

3. It is faster than 2-Tone by employing a quick data burst.

4. Customers are familiar with the protocol since it is an Industry Standard in USA, Europe, and Asia.

5. Many manufacturers built dispatch consoles with this capability.

7. 5-Tone allows the PTT ID functionality on the radio.

8. As with 2-Tone, PMR also provides audible alerts, emergency signalling and Dispatch functionality making it a workable upgrade to an existing fleet.

9. The PMR model and radio functionality provides the programmer with RX Text identifiers. When a particular 5-Tone sequence is received, a radio with display will show the alias attributed to that tone sequence.

10.When transmitting a 5-Tone sequence, the radio can select from a programmed list with aliases in order to identify the code desired for TX.

11.PMR radios allow for TX code editing and the creation of a custom “User Code” that will allow the programmer to create a unique code for a customer.

12.The system also allows for a user to select the TX codes by assigning a button on the radio.
