appears beneath it. Also your oper-
ating frequency (AND that of the
other station, if he received you)
changes to the clear channel.
"READY" also appears blinking on his
display when he receives your CAC data.
He can now press his PTT switch to send
the acknowledgement. His READY indicator
then stops blinking, but remains on.
If the other station does not receive your
CAC his transceiver will naturally not
QSY, although yours does. You can simply
give him another call Ion the old frequen-
cy) by pressing the CAC button again.
Your display will revert to the original
frequency to call him. If he does not
respond, press RESET twice to return to
your original frequency.
At the receiving end (if you receive a
CAC from another station), you will hear
two sets of three beeps and see your fre-
quency change, after which READY will
appear blinking. Ic stops blinking when you
press your PTT switch.
When your QSO is finished, press the
RESET button: once to clear the READY
indicator so you can receive other calls,
and once more if you want to return to
the original frequency (automatically).
4.20.6 Digital Memory Lockout
You may have noticed that when you have
many callsigns and group codes stored in
memory, your transceiver responds to any
calls using any of those callsigns or codes.
When the frequency is busy, this may not
be desirable. AQS therefore provides a
lockout feature that allows you to disable
code and callsign memories individually.
To disable a digital memory, activate AQS,
press CLAR[CODEL and use the MHz/CH
buttons to select the memory number to be
disabled. Now press the F[Cl key. The
arrowhead that appeared when you first
stored the memory will disappear, indica-
ting that the memory is now locked out.
You can even lock out your callsign Id,
which will prevent your transceiver from
responding to calls placed to you.
To re-enable a locked out memory, fust
repeat the same steps used to disable it.
4.20.7 FMP-1 Digital Message Processor
The FMP-I is a message and callsign
entry, storage and display system for the
AQS feature which adds digital messaging
and automatic logging to the AQS system
in the FT-736R.
The beert of the FMP-1 is a custom-
designed 8-bit CMOS microprocessor which
links to the transceiver via the CAT
System. A I6-digit fluorescent display
shows callsigns of AQS signals received,
and incoming messages up to 14 characters
long. Up to ten callsigns, three incoming
messages and three outgoing messages are
automatically stored in battery-backed
CMOS memory. The FMP-1 includes an
output Jack for connecting an ex ternal
personal computer, if desired, to expand
memory storage and display.
A mobile bracket and mounting hardware
is supplied with the FMP-I.
