Time division multiple access (TDMA) is a channel access method (CAM) used to facilitate channel sharing without interference. TDMA allows multiple stations to share and use the same transmission channel by dividing signals into different time slots. Users transmit in rapid succession, and each one uses its own time slot. Read more about DMR Portable and Mobile, Base-Repeater two-way radios and system.Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) is an open standard defined by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) which uses two-slot Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) within the existing 12.5 kHz channel spacing used for land mobile frequency bands, thus enabling improved spectrum efficiency. TDMA can allow different number of time slots for separate user. 10 TDMA Frame Structure Preamble Information Trail Bits message. Slot 1 Slot 2 Slot N.

- 1General Information
- 1.5MOTOTRBO Portable/Mobile Radios and Repeaters
MOTOTRBO is a Motorola digital radio product marketed primarily to business/industrial users. The format is based on, and compatible with the European 2-slot DMR standard and uses Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) to effectively accommodate two simultaneous users. A single 12.5 kHz channel is able to carry two simultaneous and independent conversations, or simultaneous and independent voice and data paths each with 6.25 kHz equivalency, however the bandwidth of DMR exceedes the maximum required for UHF 6.25 kHz channel centers. Operation of different talkgroups and talkpaths similar to trunking is possible, as is wide-area operation through IP connectivity. MOTOTRBO transceivers and repeater stations may be retrocompatible with analog FM using CTCSS or CDCSS.
Emission designators for MOTOTRBO: 7K60FXE (voice), 7K60FXD (data).
MOTOTRBO is based on the following ETSI standards:
- ETSI TS 102 361-1 Air interface
- ETSI TS 102 361-2 Voice and generic services and facilities
- ETSI TS 102 361-3 Data protocol
- ETSI TS 102 361-4 Trunking protocol
Additional information on DMR is available through the Digital Mobile Radio Association.

- Privacy
- Basic: 255 pre-selected 16 bit keys
- Enhanced: 40-bit (1,099,511,627,776 combinations)
MOTOTRBO Trunking
The standard includes provisions for trunking:
- ETSI TS 102 361-4 Trunking protocol
Motorola has developed three trunking systems for MOTOTRBO: Connect Plus, Capacity Plus, and Capacity Max.
- MOTOTRBO Connect Plus
- Multi-site trunking network
- Maximum of 770 traffic slots
- Up to 250 sites and up to 15 repeaters per site
- Number of repeaters per site varies depending on number of traffic slots and sites (for example, 70 sites and 6 repeaters each, 250 sites and two repeaters each, etc)
- Each site has a fixed control channel
- MOTOTRBO Capacity Plus
- Single Site Capacity Plus allows voice and data communication at a single site.
- Linked Capacity Plus (multi-site) allows voice and data communication at up to 15 sites.
- Up to 12 digital voice talk paths (six repeaters) with three sites or less.
- Up to 6 digital voice talk paths (three repeaters) with 15 sites.
- Allows up to 24 additional dedicated data paths
- No fixed control channel, instead has a 'Rest Channel' (the next available slot, sounds like a control channel) which can hop around. In a standard installation, the rest channel starts at Channel 1 and works up to the highest channel, then returns to Channel 1 and begins the rotation again.
- MOTOTRBO Capacity Max
- Capacity Max allows voice and data communication up to 15 sites.
- A system can support up to 250 sites and up to 15 repeaters per site, with up to 3,000 users per site and up to 100 voice talk paths.
- Capacity Max is fully compliant with the DMR Tier III mode of operation.
- Powerful management tools give you complete control over the system – all from a single workstation
- You can also provision a second control channel per site for ultra-high system availability.

An emission designator is a code associated with a frequency that gives information about the frequency's bandwidth and the nature of the signal on the frequency.
For scanner users, it can be useful for determining whether a frequency is analog or digital, and even whether the frequency transmits voice and/or data.

* When used between 136 - 470 MHz in Part 90 use, this technology is not compliant with 2013 narrowbanding requirements and must be discontinued by January 1, 2013. As of January 1, 2011, this emission may no longer be applied for between 136 - 470 MHz in Part 90 use, unless it fits within the existing contours of an already licensed system. These emissions may not appear on a new license or be used to extend the footprint of an already licensed wideband system beyond what existed prior to January 1, 2011.
VHF Low Band has not been required to narrowband. A 20K0 emission bandwidth continues to be acceptable for nearly all uses.
P25 Encrypted Voice Channel
Note that an emission designator identifies the characteristics of the signal and is not unique to only one type of technology or manufacturer. More than one type of deployed technology may use the same emission designator.
Radioreference.com P25 Info
An editor of this wiki cautions that this guide should not be used by any party as the sole means to qualify or disqualify a license application. THERE IS NO 'RIGHT' OR 'OFFICIAL' EMISSION DESIGNATOR SPECIFIED BY THE FCC. The reader should not construe that because it's not on this list that it is wrong. This wiki is a reference document, not a directing document.
Use of F9W Suffix
Some license application preparers have used the suffix F9W to indicate that multiple different emissions within the specified bandwidth are possible. This simplifies filling information into the FCC 601 form, but does not reflect each specific modulation type. For example, 11K2F9W may indicate that the system toggles between narrowband analog voice and P25 (or some other) digital emission, but not at the same time. A strict interpretation of ITU emissions indicates that the F9W suffix is both analog and digital simultaneously, and is therefore incorrect. A properly completed 601 form should itemize each discrete emission intended so the technologies used may be easily identified.
The exception to using F9W is Harris OpenSky, which has been certificated by the FCC as F9W, although F7W may be better descriptive.
