Press the assigned programmable key, or set the
TOGGLE switch to the assigned position to activate
the Talk Around feature when you are operating on
duplex channel systems (separate receive and transmit
frequencies, utilizing a "repeater" station). The Talk
Around feature allows you to bypass the repeater
station and talk directly to a station that is nearby.
This feature has no effect when you are operating on
"simplex" channels, where the receive and transmit
frequencies are already the same.
In the 16-key and 4-key versions, when the "TA"
function is activated, the " " icon will be indicated
on the display.
Note that your dealer may have mode provision for
"Talk Around" channels by programming "repeater"
and "Talk Around" frequencies on two adjacent chan-
nels. If so, the key may be used for one of the other
Pre-Programmed Functions.
