Tac/Com Control Head Manual

To illustrate the choices possible in the STATUS EDIT MODE, the following diagram shows all the current options and choices for an NT-series transceiver. While this appears complicated as a chart, it is very simple to use and just represents a sequence of clear choices that cycle around for user selection.

When editing is finished, return the EDIT switch to OFF, and the information will be stored. It is not necessary to go through the entire status listing, and exit is available at any time. This feature may also be used to check how the radio is set up without making any changes.

3.6.2Status Edit Features

The status edit features currently implemented in Tac/Com are as shown and explained below:

3.6.2.1TX MODE=

There are two modes possible, either DUPLEX (REPEATER) operation, or SIMPLEX (DIRECT) operation. This determines whether a common frequency is used for RX and TX, or whether different frequencies will be used. This function over-rides what is stored in the individual channel data locations, and allows those stored channels to also be operated in SIMPLEX mode without taking up another storage location. Not all radios have this capability.

3.6.2.2TONES=

Most radios have this capability. TONES can be set ON or OFF for the radio by this function, thus enabling or disabling any tones which may be set on a per channel basis through channel editing. NAT NT-series radios and the RT-96/7200 also support a tones mode of TX ONLY, which enables only the transmit tone, but not the receive tone.
