1.8 Channel Selection
The system is defaulting to channel 16 after a normal power-on.
Channels can be selected using the
(increasing to next valid VHF channel) or
(decreasing channel). Channels can also be entered using the numeric keypad.
The active working channel is always shown in the upper display.
1.9 Dual Watch
Dual watch is a mode where the priority channel (16) is scanned periodically for
a signal while listening on a working channel.
Dual watch is activated pressing the DW button.
The DW indicator is lit while DW is active. Dual watch is deactivated by:
• Pushing DW – Continue to receive on the working channel.
• Pushing PTT – Transmit always on working channel
• Pushing ´16´.
• Pushing Replay - Dual watch is terminated while message is replayed and
will then be re-invoked
Selecting a new channel while in dual watch mode will continue dual watch on the new
selected working channel, unless signal is found on channel 16.
1.10 Replay
Replay is a facility built into the VHF which will allow a copy of the last 90 seconds of
received voice data to be replayed in the loudspeaker.
Recorded voice data will be erased at any power-down .
Activating Replay
The front panel has a dedicated replay button.
A push on replay will bring up a window in the information/message
display. Holding down replay will drive a counter in the display by
which it is determined how many seconds of the latest received voice
data is wanted for replay.
While pressing replay in normal receive mode will still allow the VHF to receive audio in the
speaker system.
When releasing the replay button the replay function will play the last selected seconds of
data received on any channel. During replay new incoming data is not heard, nor recorded.
But incoming voice is recognized in the lower left corner of the display.
Volume control can be used on the replay data to adjust loudspeaker level.
