SMART MENU FEATURES

ARTSTM

The ARTS feature uses DCS signaling to inform both parties when you and another ARTS equipped station are within communications range. This may be particularly useful during Search and Rescue situations, where it is important to stay in contact with other members of your group.

Both stations must set up their DCS codes to the same code number, then activate their ARTS feature using the command appropriate for their radio. Alert ringers may be acti- vated, if desired.

Whenever you push the PTT key, or every 25 seconds after ARTS is activated, your radio will transmit a signal which includes a (subaudible) DCS code

for about 1 second. If the other radio is in range, the beeper will sound (if enabled) and the display will show “IN.RANGE”, otherwise the out of range display “OUT.RANGE” will be dis-

play during ARTS operation.

Whether you talk or not, the polling every 25 seconds will con- tinue until you de-activate ARTS. When ARTS is de-activated,

DCS will also be deactivated (if you were not using it previously in non- ARTS operation).

If you move out of range for more than one minute (four pollings), your radio will sense that no signal has been received. Three beeps will sound, and the display will revert to “OUT.RANGE”. If you move back into range, your radio will again beep, and the display will change back to the “IN.RANGE” indication.

During ARTS operation, your operating frequency will continue to be displayed, but no changes may be made to it or other settings. You must terminate ARTS in order to resume normal operation. This is a safety feature designed to prevent accidental loss of contact due to channel change, etc.

1.Set the FTM-10Rto the desired amateur band frequency by the VFO or Memory chan- nel selection.

2.Set your radio and the other radio(s) to the same DCS code number per the discussion on page 65.

2.Press the top panel / key to select “ARTS”.

3.Press the key. You will observe the “OUT.RANGE” display on the LCD. The ARTS operation has now commenced.

4.Every 25 seconds, your radio will transmit a “polling” call to the other station. When that station responds with its own ARTS polling signal, the display will change to “IN.RANGE” to confirm that the other station’s polling code was received in response to yours.

5.When the key function is set to “ARTS” via the top panel / key, the key may be used to toggle the “ARTS” on/off.
