Reverse Function; Automatic Simplex Check (Asc) - Kenwood TM-481A Instruction Manual

REVERSE FUNCTION

The reverse function exchanges a separate reception
and transmission frequency. So, while using a repeater,
you can manually check the strength of a signal that you
receive directly from the other station. If the station's
signal is strong, both stations should move to a simplex
frequency and free up the repeater.

Reception frequencies.
If pressing [REV] places the reception frequency outside the

allowable range, an error tone sounds and the function does not
operate.
If pressing [REV] places the transmission frequency outside the
◆
allowable range, pressing Mic [PTT] causes an error tone to
sound and transmission is inhibited.
You cannot switch Reverse ON or OFF while transmitting.

AUTOMATIC SIMPLEX CHECK (ASC)

While using a repeater, the ASC function periodically
checks the strength of the signal you are receiving from
the other station. If the station's signal is strong enough
to allow direct contact without a repeater, the
