DESCRIPTION
The DPE-100 is a synthesized, microprocessor-based,
high performance duplex portable FM radio designed to
optimize telephone interconnect functionality on EDACS
systems. The lightweight DPE-100 provides reliable
Telephone Interconnect operation in Enhanced Digital
Access Communications System (EDACS) trunking
environments. Duplex is provided in EDACS trunked
environments while operating in the Telephone Interconnect
Mode. Dispatch features such as group calls along with
conventional operation is not offered.
The DPE-100 radio is manufactured with advanced
state-of-the-art technology and designed with a minimum of
serviceable parts. It is not practical to service the radio to
component level (in the field). Technicians servicing this
radio should only be concerned with isolating a problem to
software or hardware. Repair is limited to reloading
software or replacing the circuit board. There are no
alignments or adjustments to be made. This manual
provides the instructions for:
•• basic radio operation
•• programming the radio personality and flash code
•• isolating a problem to hardware or software
•• disassembling the radio and replacing the circuit
board

RADIO FEATURES
The lightweight (8 oz) DPE-100 provides cellular-like
duplex interconnect with the power and efficiency of
EDACS trunking. The radio takes advantage of EDACS
Infinitybattery technology and provides up to 40 hours of
standby on a single charge. The DPE offers all the duplex
interconnect features in a cellular telephone including:
• full duplex interconnect
• familiar telephone - style keypad
• 99-number redial
• last number redial for fast, effortless use
• call length timer
• two-line, 10-character alphanumeric display that's
backlit for nighttime use

PC PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES
The DPE-100 is PC Programmable, which allows the
radio to be customized or upgraded quickly and easily. All
PC programmable functions are controlled by the
microprocessor and are field programmable using the
EDACS-2 PC Programmer and a compatible DOS based
PC. The programmable parameters are stored in a EPROM
and accessed by the microprocessor as needed. Refer to the
EDACS-2 PC Programming manual for detailed
programming instructions.
