Channel
Transmitting is inhibited if the current channel is a receiving only channel. You can create
a receiving only channel through the programmer. LCD shows 'RX-CH' if you try to transmit
in the receiving only channel.
8) TX Power
You can set transmitting power to low or high in each channel. The 'LOW' icon appears
if the current channel is set to low power. The power can be switched by the user from
High to Low by pressing a pre-programmed power key (P1-P4).

TX delay eliminates squelch tails associated with CTCSS tone transmissions, by removing the
CTCSS tone from the end of a transmission for approximately 200ms before the carrier is dropped.

11) PTT ID
This is a PC programmable function. Turned OFF, the user is not required to ground microphone
button on to the Mic hanger. All decode and scan functions remain the same. Turned ON, the user
is required to ground the microphone hook. When microphone is removed from ground all tone
decode functions are disabled, scan functions are programmable as on or off with microphone
removed from hook. Default is off with scan disabled.
You can transmit the PTT ID when you push PTT ID key. PTT ID is progammable up to
5 digits. The following table shows the options for PTT ID.
