Radio Wide > Advanced > Ignition Switch
See the help file for details on each option.
I found the area per your help, but the options i have access to are only
BLANK
TX INHIBIT
PTT TX INHIBIT
the radio is currently set to "BLANK"
Im using ver 20 astro25 mobile
it looks like according to the help file i copy pasted below, that "ignition only power up" "required" or "soft power off" is what i need, but its not in the list of options.
this is the W1 head that looks like a W5 Astro spectra design.
Ignition Switch
(Radio Wide, Advanced)
Selects the radio’s functionality based on the state of the Ignition switch in the radio-user's vehicle. "Ignition" is present when the vehicle's ignition switch / key is turned ON; and
not present (removed) when the vehicle's ignition switch / key is OFF.
When either "Tx Inhibit",
or "PTT Tx Inhibit" are selected, the
Emergency Power Up feature is
not allowed.
Blank:
- Radio powers-on with a radio-user power button press, or with an Emergency Power Up footswitch press.
- Radio powers-off with a radio-user power button press.
Tx Inhibit: (Available Only When: the radio is model / option capable)
- Radio powers-on with a radio-user power button press.
- Radio powers-off with a radio-user power button press.
- While "Ignition" is not present, certain communications are not possible:
- The radio does not register with "ASTRO 25 (APCO)" Trunking Systems and therefore cannot receive this Type (see the System Type field) of Trunking dispatch communications, however "Type II" Trunking Systems can receive dispatch without being registered.
- Also, the radio cannot be powered-on with the Emergency Power Up feature, and Emergency Alarm transmissions using the Emergency Power Up footswitch are not possible.
PTT Tx Inhibit: (Available Only When: the radio is model / option capable)
- Radio powers-on with a radio-user power button press.
- Radio powers-off with a radio-user power button press.
- While "Ignition" is not present all PTT-Button transmissions are inhibited:
- The radio does not register with "ASTRO 25 (APCO)" Trunking Systems and therefore cannot receive this Type (see the System Type field) of Trunking dispatch communications, however "Type II" Trunking Systems can receive dispatch without being registered.
- Also, the radio cannot be powered-on with the Emergency Power Up feature, and Emergency Alarm transmissions using the Emergency Power Up footswitch are not possible.
Required:
- Radio powers-on with a radio-user power button press only if "Ignition" is present, or
- Radio automatically powers-on when "Ignition" is present only if the radio turned off due to "Ignition" being removed (turned off), or
- Radio powers-on with the Emergency Power Up feature.
- Radio powers-off with a radio-user power button press.
- Radio powers-off when "Ignition" is removed, but only when the radio was powered-on with the power button.
- For an O3 Control Head: "Ignition" presence is required for radio power-on or power-off; a PTT button-press or a power-button press powers-on the radio, the power-button press powers-off the radio.
Soft Power Off: (Available Only When: the radio is model / option capable)
- Radio powers-on when "Ignition" is present, or with a radio-user power button press, or with the Emergency Power Up feature.
- Radio powers-off when "Ignition" is removed, or with a radio-user power button press.
- For an O3 Control Head: "Ignition" presence is not required for radio power-on or power-off; a PTT button-press or a power-button press powers-on the radio, the power-button press powers-off the radio.
- For XTL1500 only: The power knob must remain in the ON position; the radio then powers-on when "Ignition" is present, and powers-off when "Ignition" is removed.
Ignition Only Power-Up
- Radio powers-on when "Ignition" is present, or with the Emergency Power Up feature.
- Radio powers-off when "Ignition" is removed.
- Radio does not power on or off with a radio-user power button press.
- For an O3 Control Head: No button press of any type powers-on or powers-off the radio; the radio follows the "Ignition" state.
