Transmitting notes
D
• Transmit inhibit function
The transceiver has several inhibit functions, which restrict trans-
mission under the following conditions:
- The channel is busy. However, depending on the preprogrammed
settings, you can transmit when the call includes an unmatching
(or matching) CTCSS (DTCS), RAN code*, or Individual or Talk-
group ID*.
*Digital operation only
- A signal with the un-matched (or matched) CTCSS (or DTCS) tone
is received.
- The selected channel is a ‘receive only’ channel.
• Time-out timer
After continuously transmitting longer than the preprogrammed time
period, the time-out timer activates, and stops further transmitting.
• Penalty timer
Once the time-out timer activates, transmitting is further inhibited for
a time period determined by the penalty timer.
