Priority Alert Function; Repeater Operations - Kenwood TM-241A Instruction Manual

5-5-7 Priority Alert Function
The priority alert function allows you to monitor mem-
ory channel 1 for activity even when you are tuned to a
function has been activated the microprocessor will
ory channel 1 once every 5 seconds. The transceiver will
determine if a signal is present. If no signal is present
the transceiver will return to the original frequency. If a
signal the channel is busy. This whole process takes just
frequency change. The only thing you will notice is a
played frequency. To activate the priority alert func-
tion:
2. Adjust the SQL control to the threshold point.
3. Press the F key momen-
tarily, and then press
the SHIFT/AL key. The
AL indicator will turn on
in the display to remind
you that this function
has been activated. ~
4. |f a signal is present a beep will be heard from the
speaker.
5. To turn this function off repeat step 3. The AL indi-
cator will turn off. 7
During the period memory channel 1 is being scanned you will not :
hear voice communications, only the beep will be heard if a signalis |
present.

5-6 REPEATER OPERATIONS
5-6-1 Transmitter Offsets
All radio repeaters utilize a separate receive and trans-
mit frequency. The receiver frequency may be either
above or below that of the transmit frequency. The
configuration of most repeaters will fall into one of the
categories listed below:

Offset Direction
To select the desired transmitter offset direction press
the SHIFT/AL key. Each time you press the key the
transceiver will advance from one direction to the next,
Le. "+" to "'-" (''—* to '— —" with TM-441Eand TM-
541A) to no offset (simplex).
Automatic Offset Selection (TM-241A U.S.A. version)
The TM-241A has been programmed according to the
standard ARRL (Amateur Radio Relay League) Band
Plan with regard to transmitter offset direction. Please
see the accompanying chart for addition information
on this programming. You can, of course, override this
by using the SHIFT/AL key if desired.
