Part C Installation And Operation
When toggling between MAIN- and SUB-RX the actual settings of the controls
used at last are not transferred to the new active RX – instead the former
settings of this RX are the actual one – until they are overwritten by the
respective control.
The squelch threshold set to the RX working in the background will stay the
Example
actual one when this RX becomes the active – until one touches the squelch
control to set the threshold to a new setting.
The large S-meter is always allocated to the active RX. The smaller S-meter
is indicating the fieldstrenght of the RX working in the background.
Pressing PTT when SUB-RX is the active one will toggle MAIN- and SUB-RX
instantaneously. As mentioned before only the MAIN-RX can operate with the
TX as a transceiver.
When transmitting SUB-RX may be used to monitor own RF-signal. Receiving
with SUB-RX on a separate antenna is limited however: Excessive field
strength may trip the protection circuits. Receiving at frequencies adjacent to
the tranmitting frequency may be limited even by the superior dynamic
characteristics of the PT-8000 receivers - which are of course finite.
