Press (or press and hold) the assigned Programmable
key to toggle the TA (Talk Around) scan feature "On"
and "Off."
While TA scan is proceeding, the transceiver will
search both the transmit and receive frequencies (In
the VX-454/-459, the " " icon will blink). When a
signal is encountered on the receive frequency, the
VX-450 will pause until the signal disappears (" "
icon will appear but not blink). When a signal is en-
countered on the transmit frequency, the transceiver
will check for activity on the receive frequency ev-
ery few seconds (interval programmed by your Ver-
tex Standard dealer.).
Note: The TA Scan feature does not activate on the
Simplex Channel.

Press (or press and hold) the assigned Programmable
key to activate the Talk Around feature when you are
operating on duplex channel systems (separate re-
ceive and transmit frequencies, utilizing a "repeater"
station). The Talk Around feature allows you to by-
pass the repeater station and talk directly to a station
that is nearby. This feature has no effect when you
are operating on "simplex" channels, where the re-
ceive and transmit frequencies are already the same.
In the VX-454/-459, when the "TA" function is ac-
tivated, the " " icon will be indicated on the dis-
play.
Note that your dealer may have mode provision for
"Talk Around" channels by programming "repeater"
and "Talk Around" frequencies on two adjacent chan-
nels. If so, the key may be used for one of the other
Pre-Programmed Functions.
Note: The Talk Around feature does not activate on
the Simplex Channel.
RESET
Press (or press and hold) the assigned programmable
key to reset the RFC (Ready for Communication)
condition.
