OTHER FUNCTIONS
■
Morse code synthesizer
The transceiver announces the operating frequency or TV
channel number in Morse code. The keying speed can be ad-
justed within 10 to 25 WPM in 5 WPM steps for your conve-
nience. This can be selected in expanded set mode 2. (p. 66)
➥

thesizer is turned ON.

pushing [CALL/TV] also
toggles the Morse code
synthesizer ON or OFF.

Power save
The power save function reduces the current drain to con-
serve battery power.
The power save duty cycle, the ratio of receive circuit on to
receive circuit off while standing by, can be set to automatic
(default), 1:1, 1:4, 1:8, 1:16 or OFF in set mode. (p. 60)
• “AUTO” selects “1:4” duty ratio when receiving no signal for 5 sec.,
then “1:8” 60 sec. after that.
When automatic is selected, the power save automatically
turns OFF while operating with an external DC power sup-
ply. (11.0 V DC ±5%)
