SA818 Programming Manual

Standard Uart interface is used to configure the parameter of SA818 Walkie Talkie. The format of UART is 9600, 8, N, 1,

which means: Baud = 9600, data bit = 8bit, Parity = None, Stop bit = 1 bit. The interface is TTL or CMOS @3.3V. The

parameters which can be configured are: Bandwidth, Tx-frequency, Rx-frequency, SQ, Tx_SubAudio(Tx_CTCSS/

Tx-CDCSS), Rx_SubAudio (Rx_CTCSS/Rx-CDCSS), Volume, Scan frequency, Audio filter, etc. When commands received,

the module will verify and reply acknowledge message; User should wait enough time to send the next command until

received the acknowledge signal.

1. Instruction Command Format:

All instructions command ended with <CR><LF>, and ASCII is used.

2. Commands List:
There are 5 commands in total to be used, below is the list:

Command 1: Handshake instruction command

Command 2: Group parameters configuration
Command 3: Scan frequency configuration
Command 4: Volume configuration
Command 5: Audio filter command

3. Instruction Command Description:

3.1）Handshake instruction command

Format：AT+DMOCONNECT <CR><LF>
Reply：+DMOCONNECT:0<CR><LF>

3.2） Group parameters configuration

Format：AT+DMOSETGROUP=BW，TX_F，RX_F，Tx_subaudio，SQ，Rx_subaudio
Sample 1：AT+DMOSETGROUP=0,415.1250,415.1250,0012,4, 0013
Sample 2：AT+DMOSETGROUP=0,415.1250,415.1250,754N,4, 445I

Parameter Description：

 www.nicerf.com SA818

BW：0: 12.5K 1: 25K

TX_F：Tx Frequency value, SU818-U: 400～480MHz,
SU818-V :134～174MHz,
RX_F：Rx Frequency value,SU818-U: 400～480MHz,
SU818-V :134～174MHz,

Tx_subaudio: Tx_CTCSS or TX_CDCSS

Rx_subaudio: Rx_CTCSS or RX_CDCSS.

If 0000 is set, that means subaudio function is disable. No CTCSS and no CDCSS.
The range of Tx_CTCSS and Rx_ctcss is 1—38.

Please find below table for Tx_CDCSS and Rx_CDCSS. The table is only list the code ended with “I”, the code ended with
“N” is not shown. Actually the code ended with “N” can be used without any problems.
The code ended with “N” is the complement of the code ended with “I”.

For example:

023I = 11001000000111000110111

 www.nicerf.com SA818

023N=~023I=00110111111000111001000

SQ: 0 ~ 8
0: listen mode
1—8: Different SQ Level.

3.3） Scan frequency configuration

Purpose：Check if the matched signal exist in the specified frequency channel. This command is used for Scanning function.
User send different frequency value by this command and wait for the reply of the module, then can find if matched signal
exist and decide whether need to turn to next channel.
Format：S+Rx_F
Reply Format：S=X
0—> Signal matched on the frequency channel, 1—> no signal found
example：
S+455.2250
S=0

3.4）Volume Configuration

TEL: +86-755-61596687 +86-755-23080616. FAX: +86-755-27838582 www.nicerf.com

 www.nicerf.com SA818

Format：AT+DMOSETVOLUME=X
Reply: +DMOSETVOLUME: 0
“X” is the volume level, the range is 1---8.
Example：AT+DMOSETVOLUME=1

3.5） Audio Filet Command

Format: AT+SETFILTER=PRE/DE-EMPH, HIGHPASS, LOWPASS

Reply: +DMOSETFILTER: X

“X”:

0: command succeed,

1: command failed

PRE/DE-EMPH:

1: emphasis bypass

0: emphasis normal

HIGHPASS:

1: voice_highpass_filter_bypass

0: voice_highpass_filter normal

LOWPASS:

1: voice_lowpass_filter_bypass

0: voice_lowpass_filter normal

For example：

AT+SETFILTER=0, 0, 0

+DMOSETFILTER: 0

3.6） Close Tail Tone Command

Format: AT+SETTAIL=TAIL

TEL: +86-755-61596687 +86-755-23080616. FAX: +86-755-27838582 www.nicerf.com

1: command failed

TAIL:

1: open tail tone

0: close tail tone

For example：

AT+SETTAIL=0

+DMOSETTAIL: 0
