Certain Amateur Radio repeaters (especially in Europe) use a 1750Hz tone burst to open up the repeater. To see how this is
done with the radios, see the section called "1750Hz Tone-burst".
If you're still unable to make a connection, contact the person in charge of the radio system with your employer or your
local amateur radio club, as the case may be.
If you for some reason want to listen to the repeater's input frequency instead, press
key momentarily and you'll
reverse your transmit and receive frequencies.
This is indicated in the LCD on the radio with an R in the top row, next to the + and - for the offset direction.
6.5 VOX
This function allows hands-free conversations: just speak in the direction of the microphone and the communication will be
automatically activated.
In standby mode, press
+ 7. The screen will display "VOX".
Press
key to enter the function. Press the
keys to turn off the VOX function or to select the VOX level (1-10), then
/
press
key
to confirm.
To return to the standby mode press
key.
NOTE: level 1 is the least sensitive while level 9 is the most sensitive. When the radio is in Scan or FM Radio mode, the
VOX is not enabled.
6.6 Dual Watch
In certain situations, the ability to monitor two channels at once can be a valuable asset. This can be achieved in one of two
ways. You can either have one receiver in your radio and flip-flop between two frequencies at a fixed interval (known as
Dual Watch), or you can equip a radio with two receivers (known as Dual Receive or Dual VFO). The former method is
cheaper to implement and far more common than the latter.
The Radios feature Dual Watch functionality (single receiver) with the ability to lock the transmit frequency to one of the
two channels it monitors.
Enabling or disabling Dual Watch mode
1. Press the
key to enter the menu.
