Priority Alert Function; Repeater Operations; Transmitter Offsets - 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
different channel number. When the Priority Alert
function has been activated the microprocessor will
switch the transceiver to the frequency stored in mem-
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 is present, a beep will sound from the speaker to
signal the channel is busy. This whole process takes just
a fraction of a second, so you will not see the display
frequency change. The only thing you will notice is a
momentary pause in the signal on the currently dis-
played frequency. To activate the priority alert func-
tion:
. Ensure the frequency you wish to monitor has been
entered into memory channel 1.
Adjust the SQL control to the threshold point.
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.
If a signal is present a beep will be heard from the
speaker.
. To turn this function off repeat step 3. The AL indi-
cator will turn off.
