Press the assigned
PF
button to activate the Talk Around feature when you are oper-
ating on duplex channel systems (separate receive and transmit frequencies, utilizing
a “repeater” station). The Talk Around feature allows you to bypass the repeater
station and talk directly to a station that is nearby. This feature has no effect when you
are operating on “Simplex” channels, where the receive and transmit frequencies are
already the same.
Note that your dealer may have made provision for “Talk Around” channels by pro-
gramming “repeater” and “Talk Around” frequencies on two adjacent channels. If so,
the key may be used for one of the other Pre-Programmed Functions.
