Transmitting notes
‹
• Transmit inhibit function
The transceiver has several inhibit functions which
restrict transmission under the following conditions:
- The channel is busy.
However, depending on the presetting, you can
transmit when the call includes an unmatching (or
matching) CTCSS (DTCS) tone.
- The selected channel is a 'receive only' channel.
• Time-out timer (TOT)
If continuous transmission exceeds the preset time-
out timer limit, transmission is cut off.
• Penalty timer
The time-out timer cuts off transmission, further
transmission is inhibited for the preset penalty timer
period.
Receiving a Stun, Kill, and Revive call
‹
The dispatcher can send a 2-Tone or 5-Tone that will
stun, kill or revive your transceiver.
When the Stun call is received, beeps sound, and you
cannot receive or transmit. Receiving a Revive call
or cloning the transceiver is necessary to operate the
transceiver again.
When the Kill call is received, beeps sound, and
the transceiver becomes unusable. Cloning the
transceiver is necessary to operate the transceiver
again, in this case.
