RETROFIT INSTRUCTIONS FROM MICOM2 TO MICOM2S:
1. Switch the LORD BOARD from FRN5869A to FLN9339A.
2. Place 150Ω-(0611077A54) resistor, parallel to R274 on the HIGH POWER BOARD.
3. Use FIXED ADAPTOR ACCESSORY- (09MB000011) to Interface connector from 25 to 44 ( If
necessary).
4. Calibrate the Power output parameters of the Radio via the Radio RSS INTERFACE, into
TECHNICIAN MODE.

Multi-Net:
Description:
Multiple net operations:
The radio is capable of operation in multiple nets simultaneously. A net is defined as a group of
stations that scan the same frequencies. The MICOM can support, at least 20 nets. Each net includes
the following elements:
A group of receiveing and associated transmiting frequencies.
The self-address and net address that will be used when responding to calls.
The radio responds according to the selected net self-address, the total of all self-addresses are 20.
The sounding is per net (group of channels) for all channels one by one .
The starting time is 10 minute after the power is switched on. And the sounding group interval is
according to the sounding auto time that was programmed by the ALE-RSS.
PAGE 4 OF 4 PAGES
In actual operation, the MICOM radio will be scanning all the frequencies that make up the nets.
When it receives a call, it will respond with the self-address that is programmed in the radio for that
net. When initiating a call, the MICOM looks up the frequencies that are associated with the station
you are calling and uses only those frequencies to call that station. LQA exchanges or sounds will use
only those frequencies associated with the net that is selected.
Operation the Multi-Net application:
Programming and Operation:
1.Program each net according to the RSS ALE (Channels, Members and etc..)
2.After programming the ALE through the RSS the radio default scanning mode is according to the
selected NET.
3.Operating in Multi-Net:
From the control panel enter to the ALE programming menu and under the OPT tree find the Mnt
function and active this mode.
4.Calling sign length:
The default length of the calling sign is according to the channel numbers associate in the net or in all
nets in Multi-Net operation.
Under the same OPT tree we add the MxCh mode to change the calling sign length.
The MxCh numbers the channels multiply to the constant scanning time.
5. Sounding intervals:
The sounding intervals are per net.
From the control panel enter to ALE programming enter to NET programming and enter to SOND.
Define the sounding interval per net, or use the ALE RSS to define the sounding time interval.

6. Calling in Multi-Net:
Press CALL, select the NET # , Press ENTER, select the address and press SEND.
7. Calling from single NET radio to a Multi-Net radio:
In those cases the on single NET radio you should defined the ALE signaling length according to the
channels associate in the Multi-Net radio.
Use the MxCh parameter and define the number of channels associate in the Multi-Net radio.
When selecting AUTO the radio is calculating the ALE calling sign according to the channels associate
on your radio in single NET or in Multi-Net.
