Time-Out-Timer; Tot Penalty - Alinco DR-135T MkII Instruction Manual

Time-Out-Timer

The TOT feature is popular in repeater systems. It prohibits the users from transmitting on the
repeater after a certain period of time has elapsed. By setting this function and activating it accord-
ing to the repeaters' requirement, the radio alerts the user by a beep 5 seconds prior to time-out.
When the time is expired, transmitting stops and the transceiver automatically returns to receiving
mode. This avoids the repeater going into its TOT mode. Until the PTT is released once and pressed
again, the transceiver will not transmit.
