Busy Channel Lockout (Bcl); Control Channel Hunt; Ptt Id - Kenwood NX-700 Instruction Manual

BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT (BCL)

On Conventional channels, if BCL is set up by your dealer, you will be unable to
transmit on the channel if it is already in use. Under these circumstances, use a
different channel or wait until the channel becomes free.
However, if BCL Override has also been programmed, you can transmit over the
current signal:
1 Press and hold the microphone PTT switch.
• If the channel is already in use, a warning tone will sound.
2 Release the PTT switch, then press and hold the microphone PTT switch
again within half a second.
3 Speak into the transceiver as you would during a normal call.

CONTROL CHANNEL HUNT

On digital Trunking channels, the transceiver must search for a control channel.
While searching for a control channel, no signals can be received. The search
begins automatically when you change to a digital Trunking channel.
• While hunting for a control channel, the antenna icon will fl ash. When an available
system has been found, the antenna icon remains on the display without fl ashing.

PTT ID

PTT ID is the transceiver unique ID code which is sent each time the microphone
PTT switch is pressed.
Note: PTT ID can be made only in analog operation.
If Beginning of Transmit is set, the ID signal is transmitted when you press the
microphone PTT switch.
If End of Transmit is set, the ID signal is transmitted when you release the
microphone PTT switch.
If both are set, the ID signal is transmitted when you press and release the
microphone PTT switch.
