INHIBITING TRANSMISSION
This function prevents erroneous transmissions. If this
function is enabled, the transceiver cannot transmit even
when pressing the PTT (microphone) switch.
No received audio sounds while the PTT switch is being
pressed.
Transmission can be inhibited in the following cases.
• You want to operate the master transceiver only for reception
while two transceivers are in split transfer operation. The
transceiver does not practically transmit and no audio sounds
even if you attempt to transmit using the master transceiver.
• You do not want the host transceiver to transmit while the
KENWOOD NETWORK COMMAND SYSTEM (KNS) is in
use for the PC control of this transceiver.
Follow the procedure below to enable the Transmit Inhibit.
1 Select Group No. 6, "TX/RX Filter & Misc.", from the
Menu screen.
2 Access Menu 03, "TX Inhibit".
3 Press [SELECT] (F4) to allow editing of the parameter
box.
4 Press [-] (F4) or [+] (F5) to select "On".
The default is "Off".

6 Press [MENU] to exit.
Note:
◆ Received audio is muted while the signal level at the SS terminal of
the ACC 2 connector is in the low state, while TX Inhibit is active.
Received audio is muted since the signal level at the SS terminal
remains in the low state while pressing down the PTT switch.
◆ If TX Inhibit is enabled, you cannot tune using an antenna tuner.
◆ To use the transceiver only for reception all the time, select "On" for
this configuration to disable the transmission capability in order to
prevent the transceiver from erroneously transmitting.
