OPERATION

Note if the busy indicator ( ) on the front panel is being displayed. If it is not, the channel is not busy and a message can be transmitted.

Taking the microphone off-hook disables coded squelch control if it is programmed for the monitor

function. Take the microphone off-hook and the

indication should be displayed. If no messag- es are heard, the channel is not busy and a message can be transmitted.

If the monitor ( MONI ) option switch is pro- grammed, pressing it disables coded squelch control similar to taking the microphone off-hook. If no messages are then heard, the channel is not busy and a message can be transmitted. Press the switch again to disable monitoring.

If the Transmit Disable On Busy feature is pro- grammed on the channel, the transmitter is automat- ically disabled if the channel is busy. This is indicated by the display flashing and a rapid beeping when the PTT switch is pressed.

3.4.5 TIME-OUT TIMER

The time-out timer disables the transmitter if it is keyed continuously for longer than the programmed time. If the transmitter is disabled by this feature, the

transmit indicator ( ) turns off and the display flashes and a beeping tone is produced until the PTT switch is released.

One use of this feature is to prevent a channel from being kept busy for an extended period by an accidentally keyed transmitter. It can also prevent pos- sible damage to the transceiver caused by transmitting for an excessively long period.

There is also a penalty timer that may be pro- grammed to prevent further transmissions for the pro- grammed time after the transmitter is disabled.
