•
Note if the busy indicator ( ) on the front panel
is being displayed. If it is not, the channel is not busy
and a message can be transmitted.
•
Taking the microphone off-hook disables coded
squelch control if it is programmed for the monitor
function. Take the microphone off-hook and the
indication should be displayed. If no messag-
es are heard, the channel is not busy and a message
can be transmitted.
•
If the monitor ( ) option switch is pro-
grammed, pressing it disables coded squelch control
similar to taking the microphone off-hook. If no
messages are then heard, the channel is not busy and
a message can be transmitted. Press the switch again
to disable monitoring.
•
If the Transmit Disable On Busy feature is pro-
grammed on the channel, the transmitter is automat-
ically disabled if the channel is busy. This is
indicated by the display flashing and a rapid beeping
when the PTT switch is pressed.
3.4.5 TIME-OUT TIMER
The time-out timer disables the transmitter if it is
keyed continuously for longer than the programmed
time. If the transmitter is disabled by this feature, the
transmit indicator ( ) turns off and the display
flashes and a beeping tone is produced until the PTT
switch is released.
One use of this feature is to prevent a channel
from being kept busy for an extended period by an
accidentally keyed transmitter. It can also prevent pos-
sible damage to the transceiver caused by transmitting
for an excessively long period.
There is also a penalty timer that may be pro-
grammed to prevent further transmissions for the pro-
grammed time after the transmitter is disabled.
