To call another station not using a repeater.
NOTE:
• Using the repeater list is required to use the DR
function. (p. 68)
• Before operating in the duplex mode, be sure to
check whether the repeater is busy, or not. If the
repeater is busy, wait until it is clear, or ask for a
"break" using a method acceptable to your local
procedures.
• The transceiver has a Time-Out Timer function
for DV operation. The timer limits a continuous
transmission. Warning beeps will sound approx-
imately 30 seconds before time-out and then
again immediately before time-out.
