2-Tone Signalling; Receiving; Transmitting - Kenwood TK-760G series Instruction Manual

2-Tone Signalling is enabled or disabled by your dealer. This function turns the
transceiver squelch OFF only when it receives the 2-tone signal that has been
set up in your transceiver. Transceivers that do not transmit the correct tones will
not be heard.
Your dealer may also activate Group Call for your transceiver. Ask your dealer
for details.

RECEIVING

When you receive a signal containing the correct tones, squelch turns OFF and
you will hear the call.
• "CALL" appears on the display and the LED indicator flashes orange.
• To mute the speaker after squelch turns OFF, press the key programmed as Monitor.
• Your dealer can program squelch to automatically turn back ON after a specific time period
elapses.
• If Transpond for 2-Tone Signalling is programmed, an acknowledgment signal is returned
to the calling station. Transpond for 2-Tone Signalling can transmit an alert tone only.
