stations if desired.
NOTE: To send data: (for
example, KL-43 or V-Mail) change the
V2400 to D2400. If the radio is not
working properly cycle the radio
off/on, then filter tune the radio and
run a second BIT.
(PREVENTIVE MEASURE)
77 = Talk to the NCS. NCS needs
to check with Naples to ensure the
network is on line.
82 = Check the TBA entered into
the radio to ensure it is correct.
(PMCS)
90 = This is a busy signal. should
not be seen with TDMA.
92 = Indicates more than one
party was called. At least one party is

Troubleshooting DAMA problems
Problem: Fail to get past 25-kHz
AC – Acquiring – SVC - Idle when
attempting first connection after initial
setup. No up and down arrows displayed
on the right side of the screen.
Solution: Ensure the current
Orderwire key segment are loaded in fill
slots 1 – 4 in F2. Lack of the current
orderwire COMSEC loaded and/or not in
1 – 4 will cause a connection stop at the
25-kHz AC – Acquiring –SVC - Idle
window during initial connection.
Problem: COMSEC Alarm
continues to popup.
Solution: Refill ANDVT key in F1.
Problem: CTIC alarm.
Solution: Refill the orderwire key in
the correct positions (F2).
Problem: Data communications not
getting through but voice
communications are.
Solution: Run Link Test. It is item 7
in DAMA menu, needs to be run at 32
kbps, and the Symbol Errors need to be
less than 100 when transmitting data.
Takes about a minute to run and lets
operator know a better signal is needed.
Info Code 93 appears, send back
information report and wait since
someone else is running the test.
