SAFETY
1. Do NOT operate your radio, without a hands free kit, whilst driving a vehicle.
2. Do NOT operate your radio in an explosive atmosphere.
Obey the 'Turn Off Two-way Radios' signs where these are posted, e.g. on a
petrol station forecourt.
3. Do NOT touch the antenna while the radio is transmitting.
H NTS FOR US NG THE RAD O
• When speaking hold the microphone a few centimetres from your mouth and speak
across it rather than into it.
• Keep the length of your conversation to a minimum and replace the microphone on its
cradle after use.
• When it is possible to move location avoid making calls from known poor signal-strength
areas such as the radio systems fringe areas (limit of range) or from screened or
shadowed areas e.g. an underground car park or underpass.
• To avoid unnecessary drain on the vehicle battery keep the engine running when using
the radio for extensive periods of time.

1.1 O VERV EW
The Simoco SRM9000 Series Radios are a family of versatile Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
controlled software controlled two-way mobile radios.
These Operating Instructions describe the operation of the APCO P25 Standard compliant
Mobile Radio consisting of an SRM9000 Transceiver a MA-MAB-2 Option Board and
SRM9030 / SRM9030plus Control Head.
The SRM9030-P25 Radio may be customised to your operational requirements using the
Field Personality Programmer (FPP). Your Simoco representative can help in programming
your radio facilities to meet your present and future requirements.
1.2 C

The SRM9030-P25 Radio must be configured using the P25 Field Personality Programmer
(FPP) prior to operation. The configuration process defines the radio channels signalling and
other settings so that the radio will operate with your system
1.3 M ODES OF P25-SRM9030 O PERAT ON
The SRM9030-P25 Radio is capable of operation in Analogue FM Analogue Trunking P25
Conventional and P25 Trunked modes.
Radio Channels are organised in groups of up to 250 per zone. Up to 40 zones may be
defined.
Generally zones can be programmed with channels belonging to common function groups.
A radio channel can be defined as either Analogue Conventional P25 Channel or Trunked
P25 network and a Zone may contain a mix of Analogue or Conventional P25 Channels.

3. MENU SYSTEM
This section details the operation of the menu system for the SRM9030-P25.
The SRM9030 has a menu system that is configurable by the FPP. The FPP has a pool of
menu entries that can be applied as required in the order required. In simple configurations
no menu can be programmed if required. See Figure 5 for example menu.
Pressing the “M” key from the top-level channel screen enters the menu system. This key
has a soft menu label alongside it titled “MENU”. The soft key above “MENU” is generally
the accept or “OK” key.

The presence and order of the above menu selections is determined by the FPP
configuration.
The
Setup menu is a special case entry. Setup is a subgroup that can have any of the list of
menu selections assigned to it. This means that lesser used selections can be partly hidden
away under Setup subgroup if required although still accessible.

mode. Selecting another non-autoscan channel will stop the scan.
If a radio channel is defined as a P25 Conventional Digital Channel it will only receive P25
digital signals.
If a radio channel is defined as an Analogue FM channel it will receive both P25 Digital* and
Analogue FM signals.
A radio channel defined as a P25 Trunked network will automatically start searching for the
pre-programmed network and only receive signals from that network once it has service.
* While in Analogue mode all unencrypted digital P25 traffic will be heard regardless of NAC
or Talkgroup.

The menu structure on the SRM9000 is configurable using the Field Programmer. A system
administrator usually tailors the order and presence of the menu options to specific customer
requirements.
This section will describe all the possible menus.
Normally the menus are divided into two menu lists.
These are normally the Main menu list and the Setup menu list.
In the default configuration the Main menu contains the Zone screen and a Setup screen.
This allows access to the second “Setup” menu level.
4.2.1 Zone Menu
The Zone Screen is used for changing Zones. A Zone is normally defined as a group of radio
channels with a common operational role.
When the “
Zone ” menu option is displayed press the “ OK ” button to enter the “ Zone “ select
screen.
Once the “ Zone ” menu appears press the ▼ and ▲ keys to choose the required Zone.
Press the “
OK ” key to select the required Zone. The radio will return to the channel screen
and select the first channel in the new Zone.
Direct access to the “
Zone ” menu from other screens can also be programmed to one of the
function buttons with the Field Programmer.
