Kenwood 144, 440 MHz TH-D7A instruction manual Reverse Function, Automatic Simplex Check ASC

REVERSE FUNCTION

1The reverse function exchanges a separate receive and

2transmit frequency. So, while using a repeater, you can manually check the strength of a signal that you receive

3directly from the other station. If the station’s signal is

4strong, both stations should move to a simplex frequency

5and free up the repeater.

19Note:

20◆ If pressing [REV] places the transmit frequency outside the allowable range, then pressing the PTT switch causes an error beep to sound;

21transmission is inhibited.

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

23◆ Automatic Repeater Offset does not function while Reverse is ON.

◆You cannot switch Reverse ON or OFF while transmitting.

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.

• “ ” appears when the function is ON.

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

•To quit the function, press [REV] momentarily.

Note:

◆Pressing the PTT switch 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.
