GENERAL FEATURES

On conventional systems, the Transmit Disable On Busy feature can be used to automatically perform monitoring (see page 51). The proceed tone then does not sound if the channel is busy. Otherwise, the proceed tone (if enabled) sounds on conventional systems even if the channel is busy.

With all operating modes, if encryption is used, a 0.9-second delay occurs before this tone sounds and two beeps are heard instead of one. A short delay may also occur with conventional calls. These delays ensure that the radio path is complete before you begin talking so that part of your first word is not lost.

Stealth Mode

The stealth mode disables the following tones and indicators so that they do not reveal that you are transmitting or otherwise indicate your presence. The speaker audio and display remain enabled in this mode.

•All tones (see “Tone Select” on page 32)

•The front panel transmit/busy indicator (see page 16)

•Display backlight

The stealth mode can be selected by an option switch or the STEALTH menu parameter (see page 33), or is fixed in the on or off mode by programming. There is no special indication that this mode is selected except “On” is displayed under “STEALTH” in the menu mode.

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 on the lower line of the display, and the inter- cept tone sounds. The timer and tone are reset by releasing the PTT switch. Ten seconds before time-out occurs, a beep sounds to indicate that time-out is approaching. There is also a timer that can be programmed to prevent transmitting for up to one minute after time-out occurs.
