Revision History
Version Release Date Description
R2.0 September, 2018 The radio can initiate full duplex call in Repeater Mode and to telephones.

Overview Application Notes
1. Overview
1.1 Introduction
Full duplex call refers to a private call, during which both the called party and the calling party can send and
receive voice simultaneously.
Full duplex call can be set up between two radios or a radio and a telephone (including PSTN, PABX, VoIP and
mobile phone). It not only frees your hands but also guarantees long-time talk whenever required. In addition, it
simplifies operations and improves communication efficiency.
1.2 Principle
The full duplex call can be set up on digital channel in Direct Mode or Repeater Mode.
Direct Mode
In Direct Mode, the radio transmits and receives voice on two slots with the same frequency.
Call ends
The call fails if Radio B does not support full duplex call. But if Adaptive Switch to Half-duplex is enabled
on Radio A, the user can initiate the call in half duplex mode, in which the calling radio and the called
radio can either send or receive voice.
2. When receiving the call, Radio B answers it according to the Answer Mode configured via CPS.
FOACSU: You need to hold down PTT or Full Duplex Call programmed key to answer the call.
2
Application Notes Overview
3. After the full duplex call sets up, the microphones and speakers of Radio A and Radio B are enabled.
If two slots of the repeater are idle, the repeater forwards the call to Radio B. In IP multi-site connect
system, the repeater forwards the call to another repeater over the internet, and then to Radio B.
If two slots of the repeater are not idle and Adaptive Switch to Half-duplex is enabled on Radio A, the
user can initiate the call in half duplex mode. In this mode, the calling radio and the called radio can
either send or receive voice.
Radio B answers the call according to Answer Mode configured via CPS, if it supports full duplex call.
FOACSU: hold down PTT or Full Duplex Call programmed key to answer the call.
if Radio B does not support full duplex call and Adaptive Switch to Half-duplex is enabled on Radio A, the
user can initiate the call in half duplex mode. In this mode, the calling radio and the called radio can either
send or receive voice.
3. After the full duplex call sets up, the microphones and speakers of Radio A and Radio B are enabled.

Overview Application Notes
For example, when an inspector in oil and chemistry industry found that a fault occurs on a critical equipment.
He/she needs to detail the fault to a technical expert and carry out the solution. In this case, radio featuring full
duplex call is essential for preventing the deterioration of the fault and implementing first-aid security measures.
1.4 Restrictions
Only normal private call between radios or between a radio and a telephone can be initiated in full duplex
mode. Other call services, such as group call, emergency call, can only be initiated in half duplex mode, and
the calling and the called radios can either send or receive voice signals.
The SFR feature must be disabled (CPS path: Conventional -> Channel -> Digital Channel -> CH DX -> SFR)
and Battery Save Mode must not be set as 1-4 (CPS path: Conventional -> General Setting -> Setting ->
Battery Save -> Battery Save Mode).
In IP multi-site connect system, Jitter Buffer Length of the repeater must not be larger than 3. The CPS path is
Conventional -> General Setting -> Network -> IP Connect Configuration.
1.5 Versions
R9.0: The repeater with firmware V9.00.04.405.iM or later supports full duplex call.
R8.6: Duplex MD78Xi with firmware V8.06.01.138 or later supports full duplex call.
R8.5: PD98X and duplex MD78X with firmware V8.05.06.005 or later support full duplex call.

Application Notes Radio Configuration
2. Radio Configuration
The configuration of PD98X and duplex MD78X/MD78Xi is the same. This chapter takes duplex MD78X as an
example.
2.1 Tool
CPS of V9.00.07.712.iM or later is required.
2.2 Procedure
Step 1 Set call setup mode of PTT to Full Duplex, and configure Answer Mode of the radio.
CPS path: Conventional -> Digital Common -> Basic -> Full Duplex.
Parameter: Call Setup Mode and Answer Mode. For parameter descriptions, refer to CPS Help.
Step 2 Enable Adaptive Switch to Half-duplex, and set time parameters to control full duplex call.
CPS path: Conventional -> Digital Common -> Basic -> Full Duplex.
Parameter: Call Timer Display, Full Duplex Total Time, Caller Wait Answer Time, Called Wait
Answer Time, No Signal Hang Time, Total Time-out Pre-alert Time and Adaptive Switch to
Half-duplex. For parameter descriptions, see table below.
Call Timer Sets the way to display the call duration. Default: Down

Radio Configuration Application Notes
Full Duplex Sets duration of a full duplex call. The call ends Range: 10~600s
Caller Wait Sets waiting time of the calling radio before the

Answer called radio answers the call. The call ends when
Default: 10s
Time this time is up.
Called Wait Sets how long the called radio rings when it

Application Notes Radio Configuration
CPS path: Conventional -> Digital Common -> Basic -> Encode.
Parameter: Private Call Encode. For parameter descriptions, refer to CPS Help.
Step 4 (Optional) Switch the call setup mode through radio menu.
CPS path: Conventional -> General Setting -> Menu -> Common Menu -> Radio Settings.
Parameter: Call Setup Mode. For parameter descriptions, refer to CPS Help.
Step 5 (Optional) Switch the call setup mode through a programmable key.
Step 7 (Optional) Enable Off Hook Answer Call or On Hook Clear Call to answer or end a full duplex call.

Radio Configuration Application Notes
Note
PD98X does not support Off Hook Answer Call and On Hook Clear Call.
This step is necessary when the radio and telephone communicates through full duplex call.
The parameter configuration of the radio and repeater is the same as that for half-duplex call. Refer to
Section 4.2 Configuration of DMR Conventional Radio_SIP Phone_Application Notes for details.
