TP-154 Tone Panel Specification

The microprocessor controlled Model TP-154 provides everything necessary to convert any receiver and transmitter into a powerful high performance private or shared repeater system.

The TP-154 supports all 50 CTCSS tones and 104 DCS codes and is the only panel in the industry capable of handling 154 subscribers simultaneously.

The low cost of the TP-154 makes it attractive for use in private systems of any size.

PERFORMANCE The COS input allows the TP-154 to operate with precisely the same receiver sensitivity as the squelch built into the receiver. Special software algorithms make CTCSS or DCS talk down practically impossible.

HOG TIME AND PENALTIES A maximum talk time and no-talk penalty time is globally programmable and can be enabled or disabled on a per user basis. This gives you some control over the "air time hogs".

PROGRAMMING All per user and globally programmable features can be remotely programmed over the air or locally programmed by plugging any DTMF telephone into the rear of the TP-154. The telephone becomes your local programming keyboard.

FRONT PANEL DISPLAY In operate mode the front panel display shows the CTCSS or DCS code of the current user. In local programming mode, the display shows all selections you enter and allows verification of previously entered data.

REMOTE DATA DISPLAY You can immediately verify all over-the-air programming by displaying the TP-154's automatic DTMF transpond on a CD-2 Communications Decoder. In addition to the front display, the CD-2 also outputs the transponded data on an RS-232 serial port. By using the CD-2P application for your PC or laptop computer, all programming data for each of your TP-154's can be downloaded and stored in your computer for future reference.
