Key Description
This option is ENABLED as the Factory Default setting. This permits all Field
Programmable features (FP) to be field programmed by you. If DISABLED, the features
can only be programmed using special Ritron PC Programming software.

The Z button can be set for one of the following five functions:
• Channel Scan enables channel scanning.
• NOAA Weather (VHF Only) enables the weather channel.
• Channel Monitor toggles receiver between carrier squelch and tone squelch.
• Call Tone transmits a call tone.
• Encode DTMF/2-Tone/Selcall transmits a DTMF, Selcall or 2-Tone code programmed
into the selected channel

The Factory Default setting is volume level 4. Field Programming or PC Programming
allows any volume level between 0 – 9. If Turn on to Volume is not selected the radio will
turn on at the lowest volume level 0.
A Constant Beep Volume can be set for any volume level between 0 – 9. If not selected
the Beep Volume will be the same as the volume set by the On/Volume Up and Volume
Down/Off buttons.
Set from the factory for 60 seconds, the TX Time Out Time can be PC programmed for 1-
255 seconds. This sets the length of time the JBS Base Radio can transmit continuously. If
the Push-to-Talk button is held down longer then the TX Time Out Time will allow, the
radio will stop transmitting and a "Busy Signal" will be heard in the speaker until the button
is released..

The JBS Base Radio can be set to always turn on to Channel 1, otherwise it will turn on to
the channel that was selected when the radio was last turned off.

If the Z button has been set for Call Tone the level can be set for High or Low. The duration
of the Call Tone can be set for 0.5-8 seconds via PC programming only. The default
duration is 1.5 seconds.
