Basic Operation
▪
Transmitting on channels 8-14 is limited to a half watt of output power. The
KG-1000G is not capable of transmitting at this low of power and does not allow
transmitting on these channels (although you can listen).
▪
Transmitting on channels 15-22 is limited to 50 watts of output power.
▪
Channels 23-30 receive on the same frequencies as channels 15-22, but transmit on
a special offset frequency set aside for repeaters. See page 36 for more informa-
tion about using the KG-1000G with repeaters.
Transmitting and Receiving
With a channel selected, the radio is actively “listening” for an incoming signal on that
channel. When a signal is detected, the transmission will be heard through the radio’s
speaker. Please note, the Squelch setting (page 43) determines how strong a signal
needs to be in order to be detected.
To transmit, first be sure the channel is clear and then hold the hand microphone a few
inches from your mouth. Hold down the PTT button on the side of the microphone
while talking and release the PTT when finished.
