D Transmitting notes
The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict
transmission under the following conditions:
- Channel is busy.
- Un-matched (or matched) CTCSS is received.
After continuous transmission for the pre-programmed time
period, the time-out timer is activated, causing the trans-
ceiver to stop transmitting.
Once the time-out timer is activated, transmission is further
inhibited for a period determined by the penalty timer.
