ARTS™ (Automatic Range Transponder System)
ARTS™ Polling Time Options

then rotate the DIAL knob to select "3 AR INT".
2. Press the [ MHz ( SET )] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to
select the desired polling interval (15 or 25 seconds).
3. When you have made your selection, press and hold
in the [ MHz ( SET )] key for one second to save the new
setting and exit to normal operation.
ARTS™ Alert Beep Options
The ARTS™ feature allows two kinds of alert beeps (with the additional option of turning
them off), so as to alert you to the current status of ARTS™ operation. Depending on your
location and the potential annoyance associated with frequent beeps, you may choose
the Beep mode which best suits your needs. The choices are:
The beeps are issued only when the radio first confirms that you are within
IN RNG:
range, but does not re-confirm with beeps thereafter.
Every time a polling transmission is received from the other station, the

alert beeps will be heard.
