Kenwood TM-V708A instruction manual Reverse Function, Automatic Simplex Check ASC

REVERSE FUNCTION

The reverse function exchanges a separate receive and transmit frequency. So, while using a repeater, you can manually check the strength of a signal that you receive directly from the other station. If the station’s signal is strong, both stations should move to a simplex frequency to free up the repeater.

AUTOMATIC SIMPLEX CHECK (ASC)

While using a repeater, ASC periodically monitors the strength of a signal that you receive directly from the other station. If the station’s signal is strong enough to allow direct contact without a repeater, the ASC indicator on the display begins blinking.

Press [REV] (1 s) to switch the function ON.

Press [REV] to switch the Reverse function ON (or OFF).

•“R” appears when this function is ON.

Note:

◆If pressing [REV] places the transmission frequency outside the allowable range, then pressing Mic [PTT] causes an error beep to sound; transmission is inhibited.

◆If pressing [REV] places the reception frequency outside the allowable range, an error beep sounds and no reversal occurs.

◆You cannot switch Reverse ON or OFF while transmitting.

•While direct contact is possible, the ASC indicator blinks.

•To end this function, press [REV].

Note:

◆Pressing Mic [PTT] causes the ASC indicator to quit blinking.

◆ASC does not function if your transmit and receive frequencies are the same (simplex operation).

◆ASC does not function while scanning.

◆Activating ASC while using Reverse switches Reverse OFF.

◆If you recall a memory channel or the Call channel that contains Reverse ON status, ASC is switched OFF.

◆ASC causes receive audio to be momentarily intermitted every 3 seconds.
