Chapter 2 FEATURES AND BENEFITS 1.0 Introduction This chapter describes those radio features and functionality which offer a significant benefit to your customers. The intention is to provide you with useful information which is relevant to your customers that will help you sell the GM300 Series Professional Mobile radios. 2.0 Audio Quality Enhancement 2.1 Xpand™ Voice Compression Xpand™voice compression combines two audio quality enhancement features - Companding and Low Level Expansion (LLE). 2.1.1 Companding Companding is a collective term to definecompressing the audio signal on transmission and expandingthe audio signal on reception. The overall effect is to reduce noise in the received signal, giving you crisper, clearer audio clarity. Companding should only be used when other radios in your system have the same companding feature available. Companding and LLE are mutually exclusive, switching on one of the features automatically switches off the other. It is important to ensure thatallradios in a team have the feature switched on. Benefits Crystal clear communication which makes listening easier. Improves efficiency as messages are heard and understood first time. 2.1.2 Low Level Expansion (LLE) This allows improvements in audio quality by reducing noise usually heard during pauses in conversation. This feature is automatically included in every radio and should only be switched off in specialised applications. Benefits Pauses in conversations are now silent which makes it easier to listen.
2-2FEATURES AND BENEFITS Audio Quality Enhancement Summary 3.0 Channels 3.1 Number of channels The GM340 mobile supports up to 6 channels, the GM360 and GM380 mobiles up to 255 channels. On the GM340 the channels must be assigned to the 6 programmable buttons. Thus, the number of buttons left to assign to features is 6 minus the number of channels. Each channel can be either a repeater channel, where the transmit and receive frequencies differ (Semi-Duplex operation), or a Talkaround channel, where the transmit and receive frequencies are the same (Simplex Operation). 3.2 Channel Alias With up to 255 channels it can be difficult to remember who is on which channel number. To make it easier to recognise the channels, each channel can be given a meaningful alphanumeric name (or Alias) up to 14 characters long. Benefits Meaningful names can be given to each channel, making it easier to find the right channel. 3.3 Channel Selection On the GM340, channels are selected by pressing pre programmed buttons; one channel per button.Table 2-1 Xpand™ Summary LLE ON OFF COMPANDING ONX (Can’t happen condition)Recommended for teams where all radios use companding OFFDefault factory setting. Recommended for mixed fleets of companding and non- companding radiosRecommended only for applications where flat audio is used e.g. data applications.
