Variable ID |
(Conventional System, General MDC) |
Selects the three digit ID (in decimal or hex format) that identifies
the radio as belonging to a unique group while receiving and transmitting
MDC calls on the current MDC
Conventional System. 
Examples of transmissions using this value are: Call Alerts,
Selective Calls, Messages, Statuses,
and Emergency transmissions.
|
When receiving an MDC transmission, the Variable ID allows the radio to identify the incoming call as being addressed to it, as well as being addressed to other radios in the Group. |
|
On a dispatched system which uses fleets and groups, the first digit of the ID represents the fleet, and the last two digits represent the group; for example: Variable ID = FGG, where F = Fleet and G = Group. |
When the System Type field is set to "MDC", and
when the Expanded MDC ID Range field is "Disabled".
