The ARTS feature allows two kinds of alert beeps (with the additional option of turning
them off), so as to alert you to the current status of ARTS operation. Depending on your
location and the potential annoyance associated with frequent beeps, you may choose the
Beep mode which best suits your needs. The choices are:
: The beeps are issued only when the radio first confirms that you are within
range, but does not re-confirm with beeps thereafter.
: Every time a polling transmission is received from the other station, the alert
beeps will be heard.
: No alert beeps will be heard; you must look at the display to confirm current
ARTS status.
To set the ARTS Beep mode, use the following procedure:
Press the [ F ] key, then press the [ M/V ( SET )] key, to enter the Set mode.
