Uniden UH089sx manual Transmitting, Call Function, Using Repeater Channels

UNIDEN Model uh089sx UHF CB Radio

Operation

Transmitting

The uh089sx uses the 40 UHF-CB Channels (Channels 22 and 23 are for telemetry and telecommand applications. Transmit is inhibited on these channels).

Select the desired channel. Press the microphone's PTT button and speak normally into the microphone. Hold it approx. 7cm from your mouth. Release the PTT button to end the transmission and listen for a reply.

Call Function

Press the microphone Call Button. A two second ringing tone will be transmitted. You may select from 2 types of tones (see p.10).

Current regulations require calling tones to be restricted to one transmission per minute. If a second transmission is attempted within one minute then an error tone will sound.

Using Repeater Channels

UHF CB repeaters are used to retransmit or relay your signal. Repeaters will extend the range of your radio and overcome the shielding effect caused by solid obstructions. In normal Simplex operation, your radio transmits on one particular frequency and receives on that same frequency. If there is a barrier that partially blocks your transmitted signal, the probability of another radio receiving the signal is very slim. Hills, tall buildings, metallic structures,...etc tend to act as a screen between radios.

Standard Operation without the aid of a	Operation with the aid of a Repeater
Repeater Station.	Station (Duplex).

The signal coming from your radio is received by the Repeater Station and the re-transmitted at the same time on another channel. This operation is called "Duplexing".

For example,

CH01 on Duplex Mode will Receive on CH01 but Transmit on CH31 CH02 on Duplex Mode will Receive on CH02 but Transmit on CH32 etc...

If you transmit on CH01 Duplex mode, you are actually transmitting on CH31 the repeater station down-coverts your signal and retransmits on CH01.
