FUNCTION- Dual Channel Monitor (DCM)
WHAT IS DUAL CHANNEL MONITOR (DCM)?
Generally on a UHF only one channel can be monitored at a time (unless the radio is in scan mode).
Dual channel monitor allows two channels to be monitored simultaneously.
SETTING DUAL CHANNEL MONITOR (DCM)
To access dual channel monitor, press the
“(MENU/PWR) BUTTON”
eight times, “DCM” will display
on the screen. Press the
“UP ARROW”
or
“DOWN ARROW”
to select an option, “on or off”.
To select a second channel to be monitored, press the
“(MENU/PWR) BUTTON”
eight times, “DCM”
will display on the screen. Press the
“UP ARROW”
or
“DOWN ARROW”
to select an option, “ON”.
Now press the
“(MENU/PWR) BUTTON”
once and a channel number will flash, press the
“UP AR-
ROW”
or
“DOWN ARROW”
to select the second channel to be monitored. Now press the
“(MENU/
PWR) BUTTON”
again and the CTCSS/DCS sub channel will flash, press the
“UP ARROW”
or
“
DOWN ARROW”
to select the CTCSS/DCS sub channel to be monitored. To finalise the selection
press the
“(MONI) BUTTON”
and this will save the selected option and the radio will return to the
default screen.
When DCM has been activated, the default screen will display DCM and the radio will continue
cycling between the current channel and the monitored channel automatically.
FUNCTION- Duplex Mode
WHAT IS DUPLEX?
The duplex mode on the radio helps increase the range of the radio using repeater stations. In
duplex mode, the fixed position station forwards the signal it receives from repeater input stations
(31-38)/(71-78) to the corresponding output stations (1-8)/(41-48). Any transmissions sent on
non-duplex channels are sent in simplex mode, or directly between radios without the use of a
repeater.
NOTE:
Detailed information about duplex mode and use of duplex mode can be found on page
14 of this instruction manual.
SETTING DUPLEX MODE
Duplex mode can only be selected when the radio is on a duplex channel (1 – 8 or 41-48). The
following steps will only enable duplex operation on the selected channel. If you wish to enable
duplex on another channel, you will need to follow the procedure again on the selected channel.
To access duplex mode, press the
“(MENU/PWR) BUTTON”
nine times, “RPT” will display on
the screen. Press the
“UP ARROW”
or
“DOWN ARROW”
to select an option, “on or off”. Once
the desired option has been selected, press the
“(MONI) BUTTON”
and this will save the
selected option and the radio will return to the default screen. If you have selected the duplex
mode “ON”, RPT will stay displayed at the top of the default screen.
