When overwrite is enabled the client will be able to change pre-programmed channels,
Effectively this will allow the client to program all channels. If this option is not enabled the
client will only be able to program "empty channels" and channels that do not have the pre-
programmed option set.

When this check-box is enabled any channels programmed by the client will default as
marine channels. This means that the clarifier for the channel will be 150Hz, unless the
channel is programmed to be a selcall channel.

If this option is enabled the noise blanker circuitry will be turned on. When disabled the
noise blanker will be turned off.

If this option is enabled the scrambler circuitry will be turned on. When disabled the
scrambler will be turned off. The Scrambler Fitted option must also be set.

If this option is enabled the transceiver will transmit in low power mode on all channels. If
not enabled the transceiver will transmit at the default power programmed in each channel.

If this option is enabled, when PTT is released a quick “over beep” is transmitted on air.

This option, when enabled, allows the transceiver to receive and transmit emergency
selcalls. Note:- Emergency selcall status can be assigned to any channel in the channel
programming setup.

If this option is enabled beeps are not emitted when the user presses the front panel keys.

This option turns the transmitter off if the microphone PTT is held activated (i.e. wedged in a
car seat) for more than 1.5 minutes.

If this option is enabled a sentence will be output to the RS-232 port when the transceiver
receives a selcall or telcall. Also the transceiver will not audibly annunciate
the reception of a selcall , telcall or GPS call etc.

Enables the ‘UP’ and ‘DOWN’ keys on the microphone. These keys then operate in the
same fashion as the scroll keys on the front panel. i.e. channel up/down or receiver tuning
when in the tunable receiver mode.

If selected this option enables the use of an external GPS connected to the NMEA input on
the auxiliary connector.
