Transmitting A 1750 Hz Tone; Reverse Function; Automatic Simplex Checker (Asc) - Kenwood TM-V71A Instruction Manual

TRANSmITTING A 1750 Hz TONE

Most repeaters in Europe require that a transceiver transmit a 1750 Hz tone. On
a E type model, simply pressing Microphone [CALL] causes it to transmit a 1750
Hz tone. It is also possible to program [1750] on the front panel as a PF key for
transmitting a 1750 Hz tone.
Note: The transceiver continuously transmits a 1750 Hz tone until you release Microphone [CALL]
or PF key(1750).
Some repeaters in Europe must receive continuous signals for a certain period
of time, following a 1750 Hz tone. This transceiver is also capable of remaining in
the transmit mode for 2 seconds after transmitting a 1750 Hz tone.
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 402 (1750.HD) {page 20}.
2 Set the tone to ON or OFF.
• When set to ON, the 1750 Hz tone will transmit. When set to OFF, the tone will not
be transmitted.

REVERSE FUNcTION

After setting a separate receive and transmit frequency, you can exchange these
frequencies using the Reverse function. This allows you to manually check the
strength of signals you receive directly from other stations, while using a repeater.
If the station's signal is strong, move to a simplex frequency to continue the
contact and free up the repeater.
Press [REV] to turn the Reverse function ON or OFF.
• When the Reverse function is ON, the icon will appear on the display.
Note:
u If the transmit frequency is outside the allowable transmit frequency range when using
Reverse, pressing [PTT] will cause an error tone to sound and transmission will be inhibited.
u If the receive frequency is outside the receive frequency range when using Reverse, an error
tone will sound and Reverse will not operate.
u The ARO (Automatic Repeater Offset) will not function when Reverse is ON.
u You cannot switch Reverse ON or OFF while transmitting.

AUTOmATIc SImPlEx cHEcKER (ASc)

While using a repeater, ASC periodically monitors the strength of signals you
receive directly from the other stations. If the station's signal is strong enough to
allow direct contact without a repeater, the
30
icon blinks.
