Reverse Function; Automatic Simplex Check (Asc) - Kenwood TM-D700 E Instruction Manual

REVERSE FUNCTION

The reverse function exchanges a separate receive and
transmit frequency. So, while using a repeater, you can
manually check the strength of a signal that you receive
directly from the other station. If the station's signal is
strong, both stations should move to a simplex frequency
and free up the repeater.
TX: 144.725 MHz TX: 144.725 MHz
RX: 145.325 MHz RX: 145.325 MHz
Press [REV] to switch the Reverse function ON (or
OFF).
• "R" appears when the function is ON.
Note:
If pressing [REV] places the transmit frequency outside the allowable
range, then pressing Mic [PTT] causes an error beep to sound;
transmission is inhibited.
If pressing [REV] places the receive frequency outside the allowable
range, an error beep sounds and no reversal occurs.
Automatic Repeater Offset does not function while Reverse is ON.
You cannot switch Reverse ON or OFF while transmitting.

AUTOMATIC SIMPLEX CHECK (ASC)

While using a repeater, ASC periodically monitors the
strength of a signal that you receive directly from the
other station. If the station's signal is strong enough to
allow direct contact without a repeater, the ASC indicator
on the display begins blinking.
Press [REV] (1 s) to switch the function ON.
• The ASC indicator appears when the function is ON.
• While direct contact is possible, the ASC indicator blinks.
• To quit the function, press [REV].
Note:
Pressing Mic [PTT] causes the ASC indicator to quit blinking.
ASC does not function if your transmit and receive frequencies are
the same (simplex operation).
ASC does not function while scanning.
Activating ASC while using Reverse switches Reverse OFF.
If you recall a memory channel or the Call channel that contains
Reverse ON status, ASC is switched OFF.
ASC causes receive audio to be momentarily intermitted every 3
seconds.
