Press the assigned programmable key to activate the
Talk Around feature when you are operating on du-
plex channel systems (separate receive and transmit
frequencies, utilizing a "repeater" station). The Talk
Around feature allows you to bypass the repeater sta-

plex" channels, where the receive and transmit fre-
quencies are already the same.

and "Talk Around" frequencies on two adjacent chan-
nels. If so, the key may be used for one of the other
Pre-Programmed Functions.
