ARTS Modes
In the previous ARTS description, both transceivers were set to the “
T R X
”
(transceive) mode. There are two other ARTS modes available via the M
ENU
sys-
tem, as outlined below:
R X
Use this mode if you only want your radio to listen, and not poll the other
station (in which case their radio should be set to the “TX” mode). Here, your
radio will beep and display “
A R T S I N
” or “
A R T S O U T
” to indicate the state
of connection.
T X
Likewise, this puts your radio into a
transmit-only
“beacon” mode where you
won’t hear the polling beeps (but you can still hear when the other station
talks). When activated, you have
no display of whether or not the other sta-
tion is in range
(“
A R T S I N
” and “
A R T S O U T
” do not appear). You should
have your CW IDer enabled when this mode is activated.
CW ID (Morse Identifier) Set up
The ARTS feature includes a CW identifier, as mentioned previously. The radio
can be instructed to send “DE (
your callsign
) K” in Morse code every nine min-
utes during ARTS operation. The callsign may contain up to 7 characters.
Here’s how to program the CW Ider:
1. Press and hold in the
key for one second, then rotate the
M
AIN
D
IAL
knob to select “
0 8 C W I D #
.”
2. You will notice the first character’s entry slot blinking. While it is blinking,
press the
or
key to select the desired character, then press the
key to move on to the next character to the right.
3. Press the
or
key to select the next number or letter, then press
the
key to move on the next character..
4. When the callsign is complete, press and hold in the
key for 1.5 second
to save the CW ID entry and exit to normal operation.
To activate the CW Ider for use during ARTS operation:
1. Press and hold in the
key for one second, then rotate the
M
AIN
D
IAL
knob to select “
0 7 C W I D
.”
2. Press the
key to change the display to “
O N
.”
3. Press and hold in the
key for 1.5 second to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
To disable the CW IDer, select “
O F F
” in step 2 above.
