BASIC OPERATION
Transmitting notes
D
• Transmit inhibit function
The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict
transmission under the following conditions:
- The channel is muted (‘Inaudible’ mode;
“ ” (Audible icon)
does not appear.)
- The channel is busy.
- Unmatched or matched CTCSS is received, depending on
the presetting.
- The selected channel is a ‘receive only’ channel.
• Time-out timer
After continuous transmission for a preset time period, the
time-out timer causes the transceiver to stop transmitting.
• Penalty timer
Once transmission is cut OFF, it is further inhibited for a
period determined by the Penalty timer.
