Communicating with other station
1. Press the
PTT
switch on the transceiver of the portable node to communicate with the other station.
•
In the Access Point, the signal is relayed to the Internet station and also transmitted from the C4FM digital radio
at the same time.
•
In the Direct Operation, the signal will only be relayed to the other station on the Internet. The TX/BUSY LED
lights red but the transceiver does not transmit radio waves, so the PO meter does not swing.
2. Release the
PTT
switch to return to receive mode.
•
In the Access Point operation, the voice from the other station on the Internet sounds from the speaker, and
at the same time the C4FM digital signal is transmitted. Also, the voice from another C4FM digital transceiver
accessing the portable node will sound on the speaker, and at the same time it will be relayed to the other station
on the Internet.
•
In the Direct Operation, the TX/BUSY LED lights green while receiving communication from the other station on
the Internet, but the S meter does not swing.
• In the Access Point operation, when setting a
receive
DG-ID number (except for “00”), set the
transmit
DG-ID number
to the same number. A node that is set to a different number will not work properly.
• When setting the receive DG-ID number to “00” and setting the transmit DG-ID number to anything other than “00”, the
voice of all received C4FM digital stations will be heard on the speaker, but for the transmit DG-ID Only the matched
communication is relayed to the opposite station on the Internet.
