Reverse Function; Automatic Simplex Check (Asc) - Kenwood TM-V708A 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
to 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 this function is ON.
Note:
◆
If pressing [REV] places the transmission frequency outside the
allowable range, then pressing Mic [PTT] causes an error beep to
sound; transmission is inhibited.
◆ If pressing [REV] places the reception frequency outside the
allowable range, an error beep sounds and no reversal occurs.
◆
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 this function is ON.
• While direct contact is possible, the ASC indicator blinks.
• To end this 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.
