TRANSMITTINg
To transmit, press and hold the push-To-Talk
(pTT) switch. The other radio you are talking
to must be set to the same channel (and
CTCSS code if applicable). Hold the TX6100
approximately 5 to 8 cms from your mouth with
the antenna vertical and speak into the
built-in microphone.
While the pTT switch is pressed, the LED
indicator on the upper edge of the radio
will light RED and the icon will appear
on the LCD.
When you have finished speaking, release the
pTT switch to receive incoming signals (it is not
possible to transmit and receive at the same
time). If no further signals are received, the unit
will revert to standby mode.
TIp: The PTT switch can also be used to
transmit a Call Alarm melody. When the Call
Alarm melody is enabled (see Mode settings
on page 11 for more details), pressing the
pTT switch TWICE (2) quickly will call another
party on the same channel and play the Call
Alarm melody in their radio's speaker. When this
happens, the icon will appear and the LED
indicator will light RED for about 3 seconds.

This allows operation through repeater stations
in your area. Repeaters automatically re-
transmit your signal over a much wider area,
providing greatly increased range. The Duplex
mode only works on channels 1 - 8. With
Duplex selected, your TX6100 actually transmits
30 channels higher than it receives.
To switch between Simplex and Duplex modes,
select a duplex channel (1-8) then briefly press
the dUp button. When Duplex mode is selected,
'DUP' appears on the display on that channel.
