Selecting output power
The transceiver has 3 output power levels to suit your oper-
ating requirements. Low output powers during short-distance
communications may reduce the possibility of interference to
other stations and will reduce current consumption.

One-touch PTT function
The PTT switch can be operated as a one-touch PTT switch
(each push toggles between transmit/receive). Using this
function you can transmit without pushing and holding the
PTT switch.
To prevent accidental, continuous transmission with this func-
tion, the transceiver has a time-out timer. See p. 106 for de-
tails.
