Ways to Communicate with the DR function
With the DR function, the transceiver has three ways to communicate, as shown below.
NOTE:
• Using the repeater list is required to use the DR
function. (p. 25)
• 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
approximately 30 seconds before time-out and
then again immediately before time-out.
