ARTS Alert Beep Options
The ARTS feature offers a choice of beep options to
alert you to the current status of ARTS operation
(plus the option of turning them off). Depending on
your location and the potential annoyance associated
with frequent beeps, you can choose the Beep option
that best suits your needs. The choices are:
• RRtJG
Beeps sound only when the radio first detects that
you are within range (when ARTS is first activated,
and later after coming into range from an out-of-
range condition).
• RLL
Beeps sound every time a polling transmission
is
received from the other station (every 15 seconds
when in range). This is the default setting.
• OFF
No alert beeps sound; you must look at the display to
determine current ARTS status.

CW Identifier Setup
The ARTS feature includes a CW identifier, as men-
tioned previously. The radio can be instructed to send
"DE (your cal/sign)
K" in Morse code every ten
minutes during ARTS operation. The callsign may
contain up to 8 characters from the table on page 35.
