PROGRAMMABLE OPTIONS
A number of programmable options can be set in the base station's personality. These are listed in Table
7. The following paragraphs provide further explanation regarding display blanking, warning beeps, key
beeps, and hold on scan.
Display Blanking
Display blanking is applicable only to Normal and Priority modes; not Scan mode.
When display blanking is enabled, the radio's normal frequency display is replaced by a flashing bar if
the radio is not keyed during the display blanking time period.
Example,
Display blanking is enabled
Display blanking time is 60 seconds
Selected channel frequency is 121.500 MHz.
In this example, the display normally shows 121.500. If the transmitter is not keyed for
60 seconds, the display changes to a flashing bar.
Normal frequency display is reinstated when the radio is keyed, or when the VOL
button is pressed. Note that the display can be reinstated by pressing any other button, but
doing so may also alter radio settings.
Warning Beeps
When enabled, the following conditions cause a warning beep to be heard when an attempt is made to
key the transmitter:
The radio has a fault that prevents transmissions.
q
Trying to key the radio on a channel frequency that has the 'Transmit Inhibit' option set to 'Always
q

q
Imminent transmitter time out.
q
The volume of warning beeps is set in the personality (a value between 1 and 7); the front panel volume
control does not affect the beeps.
Key Beeps
This option, when enabled, produces a single beep whenever a button is pressed on the radio's front
panel. The volume of the beep is the same as the Warning beep.
