E. Beep
The “Beep” feature is selected through this operational parameter. When the FN key is pressed, the
Beep is toggled between “ON” and “OFF”. If “ON” is selected/displayed the receiver will provide a
“Beep” every time a new message is received. If OFF is selected/displayed the speaker is muted and
no “Beep” will be heard when a message is received. If OFF is selected, the speaker icon with a slash
through it will appear on the display. This selection only turns the Beep ON or OFF. Volume of the
tone is adjusted in the volume screen defined above, and the type of “beep” is selected in the Beep
Tone menu item located in Setup Menu Level 2.
Headphone output is not affected. When using
headphones, you will receive beep tone regardless of “Beep” being ON or OFF.
F. Audio

Audio is toggled between either “ON” or “OFF”. If “ON” is selected, a telephone handset icon
appears on the display and the receiver will provide the received audio signal to the speaker. When an
Argos message is received the user will hear a “raspy tearing sound” for the duration of the received
message. This feature must be set using the squelch adjustment located under Setup Menu Level 2
“Squelch”.
G. Id Fltr
The “Id Fltr” feature is selected through this operational parameter. When the FN key is pressed, the
“Id Fltr” function is toggled between “On” and “Off”. When “Id Fltr” is “Off”, the receiver will
display information every time a new message is received for all ID’s. When Id Fltr is “Off”, “All” is
displayed on the left side of the bottom line of the display. When “Id Fltr” is “On”, the receiver will
display information only when a new message is received for an ID that is in the GRouP of
programmed ID’s under “Edit Id Fltr”. In this mode “GRP” is displayed on the left side of the bottom
line of the display. For information on “Edit Id Fltr” please see the section under Menu Level 2, page

H. RF Pwr
The “RF Pwr” feature is selected through this operational parameter. When the FN key is pressed, the
RF Pwr function is toggled between “ON” and “OFF”. When “RF Pwr” is “ON” the receiver is in the
mode to have the output of the transmitter of interest connected via cable, directly into the antenna
connector on the top of the TSUR-400 case. This will allow the receiver to measure the output power
of the transmitter. Note that this feature is limited to transmitters of one watt or less, output power.
When “RF Pwr” is “OFF”, the receiver has its own antenna installed and is ready to receive signals
that are transmitted through the air to it. It will display a power reading, however this is a relative
number and dramatically influenced by a variety of external factors such as distance from the
transmitter, interfering objects, etc.
Be sure to set “
RF Pwr
” to “ON”
before
directly connecting a transmitter. Be sure to disconnect the
transmitter before setting “RF Pwr” to “Off”. You may damage the TSUR-400 if it is directly
connected to a transmitter while “Rf Pwr” is “Off”.
