To cancel this setting, perform the same keypresses in reverse order. The indicator will disappear.
13. Transmitter power
Transmitter output power is dependent on:
-The value set by the internal software
-Antenna matching
-Temperature
To set transmitter power:
Display:
- Press H(Select Function ) - Press 1
The transmitter power level may be adjusted by pressing keys 0 and # or C and D. Confirm desired level by pressing any other key.
14. Repeater shift setting
On the UHF radio, the default value for the repeater shift is 1.6MHz. On VHF, the default value is 600 kHz. The MENU allows any other value to be set up (see Heading 17).
To switch repeater shift on and off:
Display:
- Press H(Select Function ) - Press #
Next there are 3 options: |
|
|
- Shift off | (43*.***.*** | ) |
-Shift negative (TX frequency 1.6MHz lower) (43*.***.***
-Shift positive (TX frequency 1.6MHz higher) (43*.***.*** +S)
15. Reverse shift
Reverse shift is useful for temporary listening on the repeater input frequency, and transmitting on the repeater output frequency.
Reverse shift may be switched on and off by pressing # only, i.e., without first pressing the H button. With reverse shift enabled, an ‘R’ is shown on the display instead of ‘S’.
16. Squelch (trip) level setting
Display:
- Press H(Select Function ) - Press 2
The squelch level is then adjustable using the keys 0 and # or C and D.
17. The MENU
For lack of buttons on the FM1200/1100/1300, a number of less frequently used functions have been gathered into a Menu. Once in the menu, you can select between available options by means of the 0 and # keys.
Option values may be modified as required by pressing the H button. In that case, the indicator with the H key will be visible.
Options requiring a number or text to be set may also be edited using the H key. However, these entries need to be confirmed by pressing an unused key or the H key.
Access the menu as follows:
- Press | H | (Select Function ) |
- Press | 4 | (xxxxxxx MENU) |
To keep the menu reasonably tidy, items have been distributed across submenus. The submenus may be viewed from the main menu by pressing the H button. Like the main menu, submenus are closed by pressing an unused key.
Available menu items: | Options: |
- Shift | ****** kHz |
Define amount of shift for repeaters. Adjust value using number keys.
- TX with SQPossible / Not possible
With 'Not possible' selected the transmitter can not be keyed while a signal is received.
- Limit TX time**** sec
Define maximum duration of transmission. Adjust value with number keys. 0 = none.
