DCS Digitally Coded Squelch, Time Out Timer ToT

Operation

DCS (Digitally Coded Squelch)

Your UHF080 provides for 104 DCS codes. These are digitally coded squelch codes which provide additional privacy.

To select a DCS code

1.Press the CTCSS / DCS button twice, DCS oF appears on the LCD display.

2.Rotate the Channel button or press Up / Down. Select on the Mic to select the desired DCS channel code.

3.Press the CTCSS / DCS button once to return to standby.

Receive & Transmit Indicator

The LED indictor will illuminate green when the unit is receiving a signal, when transmitting it will illuminate red. When in standby the LED is out.

Time Out Timer (ToT)

Australian and New Zealand standards require that if the PTT is pressed for more than 3 minutes the unit must stop transmitting. The UHF080 is set to stop transmitting after 2 minutes and 30 seconds of continous transmitting. After that time the unit will stop transmitting and TOT will appear in the display to indicate that the ToT has activated.

Operation

Using the Duplex (DPX) feature

Your radio has a Repeater Access function to allow use of local Repeater stations (if available in your area). Repeaters are shared radio system installed by interested parties (clubs, local business etc.) that pick transmissions on specific channels and re-transmit (or repeat) the received signal to another channel.

The Repeater Access function can be set (from channel 1 to 8) used by local repeater stations. For example, if there are 3 repeater stations in your area (say, channel 1, 3 and 5) you only need to set the repeater access for these specific access. When activated, your radio will receive the Repeater on its specific channel (all repeater outputs are on channel 1 to 8) but transmits to the repeater channel 31 through

38.So, if you are in the range of a local repeater which transmits on channel 2, after setting your radio to allow access of the repeater on that channel, you will select channel 2 as normal, but during transmit operation your radio will automatically transmit to the repeater on channel 32.

To Turn Duplex (DPX) ON

1.Press and hold the DPX button for 2 seconds, DPX will appear on the LCD display.

To Turn Duplex (DPX) OFF

1.Press and hold the DPX button for 2 seconds, the DPX will disappear from the LCD display.
