ARTS Alert Beep Options
The ARTS feature allows two kinds of alert beeps (with the additional option of turning
them off), so as to alert you to the current status of ARTS operation. Depending on your
location and the potential annoyance associated with frequent beeps, you may choose the
Beep mode which best suits your needs. The choices are:
IN RANGE
: The beeps are issued only when the radio first confirms that you are
within range, but does not re-confirm with beeps thereafter.
ALL
:
Every time a polling transmission is received from the other station, the
alert beeps will be heard.
OFF
:
No alert beeps will be heard; you must look at the display to confirm
current ARTS status.
To set the ARTS Beep mode, use the following procedure:
Press the
[F/W]
key, then press the
[BAND(SET)AR]
key, to enter the Set mode.
Rotate the
DIAL
to select Menu #18 (“
ARTS BEEP
”).
Press the
[BAND(SET)AR]
key to enable changing of this Menu item.
Rotate the
DIAL
to select the desired ARTS Beep mode (see above).
When you have made your selection, press the
PTT
key to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
