Time-Out Timer
When you communicate using repeaters, you should keep your
transmissions as brief as possible. Most repeaters have built-in
timers that limit single transmissions to 3 minutes or less. You can
set the transceiver to stop transmitting and sound a beep if you
exceed a set time limit with a single transmission.
To select a value for the time-out timer, with
tot
and the current
setting displayed, press
or
to choose a value from 0 to 990
seconds.
Scan Delay Time
If during scanning you encounter a signal which stops, this fea-
ture delays the continuation of scanning to allow time for the sig-
nal to restart. With
Sd
and the current delay time shown, press
or
to select the delay time (1 to 30 seconds).
Transmit Delay Time
All receivers make a noise called squelch tail, which is a brief
noise that your target receiver might produce the moment you re-
lease the
PTT
button. This noise is generated when the transmit-
ter’s carrier ceases and before the normal squelch takes over.
Your radio’s transmit delay time feature lets transmitting continue
for an extra moment when you use the CTCSS tone squelch set-
ting, to prevent the squelch tail noise.
With
t.dy
and the current status displayed, press
or
to turn
this feature on or off.
