ARTS™ Operation
The ARTS™ system uses DCS signaling to inform you when
you and another ARTS™-equipped station are within com-
munications range. This can be especially valuable during
search-and-rescue operations, as a base station can quickly
use ARTS™ to alert a field unit that it is out of range; the
field unit can then move to a better location to re-establish
communications.
ARTS™ is easy to use:
1. Press the [
F ] key momentarily, then rotate the MEM/
VFO CH knob, as needed, until Multi Function Row “f”
[
ARTS
,
SRCH
,
PMS
] appears on the display.
2. Press the [
A ](
ARTS
) key to activate ARTS™ operation.
3. Your display will change to “ out range ” to indicate the
beginning of ARTS™ operation. Every 30 seconds, your
radio will transmit a “polling” call to the other station.
When that station responds with its return ARTS™ poll-
ing signal, your display will change to “
in range ” to con-
firm reception of the response.

PTIONS
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:
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:
1. While still in Multi Function Row “f” [

ond. This is a “hot key” which will instantly recall Menu

2. Rotate the DIAL to select the desired ARTS™ Beep mode
(see above).

to normal operation.
CW Identifier Setup
The ARTS™ feature includes a CW identifier, as discussed
previously. Every ten minutes during ARTS™ operation, the
radio can be instructed to send “DE (your callsign) K” if
this feature is enabled. The callsign field may contain up to
10 characters.
Here’s how to program the CW Identifier:
1. Press and hold the [
F
] key for one second to enter the
Menu mode.
