D Transmitting notes
• Transmit inhibit function
The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict
transmission under the following conditions:

played.)
- The channel is busy.
- Un-matched (or matched) CTCSS is received.
(Depending on the presetting.)
- The selected channel is a 'receive only' channel.
• Time-Out Timer
After continuous transmission for the preset period of time,
the Time-Out Timer is activated, causing the transceiver to
stop transmitting.
• Penalty timer
Once the Time-Out Timer is activated, transmission is further
inhibited for a period determined by the penalty timer.
• PTTID call
The transceiver sends the ID code (DTMF or digital ANI) au-
tomatically when [PTT] is pushed (beginning of transmission)
and released (end of transmission) depends on the setting.
