STANDARD GROUP CALLS

Time-Out Timer

The time-out timer disables the transmitter if it is keyed continu- ously for longer than the programmed time. It can be programmed for

0.5- 5.0 minutes or disabled entirely. If the transmitter is keyed continu- ously for longer than the programmed time, the transmitter is disabled, “TIMEOUT” is indicated in the display and the intercept tone sounds. The timer and tone are reset by releasing the PTT switch.

One use of the time-out timer feature is to prevent a repeater from being kept busy for an extended period by an accidentally keyed trans- mitter. It can also prevent possible damage to the transmitter caused by transmitting for an excessively long period.

Tone Select

If the TONES menu parameter is selectable, the tones that sound can be selected. Otherwise, the tones that sound are fixed by programming. The following choices are available. Refer to page 35 for more informa- tion on using the menu mode.

Silent - All tones are disabled.

Keys - Only the key press tones are enabled.

Alerts - All tones except the preceding key press tones are enabled. All - Both the key press and alert tones are enabled.

STANDARD GROUP CALLS

General

Most calls you make are probably the standard group type described in this section. These calls are between you and another mobile or control station. The main difference between these calls and the other types is that no number needs to be dialed. The following procedure applies to all three types of operation (LTR-Net, LTR, and conventional).
