This feature is very useful to avoid overheating excessive power transistors of the transceiver. The transceiver will be off transmission automatically once the set time. ...
- Page 17 Notes: ‐ "TO" (Time Operation): Scanning will stop when it detects an active signal. The scanning will stop on each channel or active frequency for a predetermined time, after that time the scan will resume automatically. ‐ "CO" (Carrier Operation): The scanning will stop and remain in the frequency or channel, until the active signal disappears. ‐ "SE"(Search Operation): The scanning will stop and remain in the frequency or channel after it detects an active signal. 12.12. PTTID(PTT OR RELEASE PTT TO TRANSMIT THE SIGNAL CODE): ‐This feature allows you to know who call you. ‐“OFF”—Don’t transmit the code while push the PTT button. ‐“BOT”‐Transmit the code while push the PTT button.(the code only could be set by PC software.) ‐“EOT”‐Transmit the code while release the PTT button. ‐“BOTH”‐Transmit the code while push or release the PTT button. 12.13. BCL(BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT): The BCLO feature prevents the radio’s transmitter from being activated if a signal strong enough to break through the “noise” squelch is present. On a frequency where stations using different CTCSS or DCS codes may be active, BCLO prevents you from disrupting their communications accidentally (because your radio may be muted by its own tone decoder). 12.14. SFTD(DIRECTION OF FREQUENCY SHIFT): The "OFFSET" is the difference or offset between the reception frequency and the frequency of transmission for access to amateur radio repeaters.
