DTransmitting notes
• Transmit inhibit function
The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict trans-
mission under the following conditions:
- The channel is in mute condition (‘Inaudible’condition; “ ”
does not appear).
- Channel is busy.
- Un-matched (or matched) CTCSS is received.
- The selected channel is a ‘receive only’channel.
• Time-out timer
After continuous transmission for the pre-programmed time period, the
time-out timer is activated, causing the transceiver to stop transmitting.
• Penalty timer
Once the time-out timer is activated, transmission is further inhibited
for a period determined by the penalty timer.
DTX code channel selection
If the transceiver has [TXCode CH Select] assigned to it, indica -
tion can be toggled between the operating channel number (or
name) and TX code channel number (or name). When the TX code
channel number (or name) is displayed, the [ ]/[ ]key selects
the TX code channel.
TO SELECT ATX CHANNEL:
qPush [TXCode CH Select]— a TX code channel appears.
wPush [ ]/[ ]to select the desired TX code channel.
ePush [Call] (or [PTT] during MSK operation) to transmit the se-
lected TX code.
rPush [TXCode CH Select] again to return to the operating chan -
nel number indication.
FOR TX CODE CHANNELTYPE:
If the transceiver has a [TX Code CH Up] or [TX Code CH Down]
key assignment, the programmed TX code channel can be selected
directly.
