ARTS (Auto Range Transpond System)
This system is designed to inform you when you and another ARTS-equipped station
are within communication range.
During ARTS operation, your radio automatically transmits for about 1 second every
25 seconds (the interval is programmed by the Dealer) in an attempt to shake hands
with the other station.
If you move out of range for more than two minutes, your radio senses that no signal
has been received; a ringing beeper will sound, and “
OUT OF SERVICE
” will scroll
on the LCD. If you subsequently move back into range, as soon as the other station
transmits, your beeper will sound, and “
IN SERVICE
” will scroll on the LCD.
DTMF Paging System
(Requires the optional
FVP-25
Encryption/DTMF Pager Unit)
This system allows paging and selective calling, using DTMF tone sequences.
When your radio is paged by a station bearing a tone sequence which matches yours,
your radio’s squelch will open and the alert ringer will sound. The three-digit code of
the station which paged you will be displayed on your radio’s LCD.
