■ Busy Channel Lockout (BCL)
The Busy Channel Lockout feature is activated or
deactivated by your dealer.
When activated, BCL prevents you from interfering
with other parties who may be using the same
channel that you selected. Pressing the PTT switch
while the channel is in use will cause your
transceiver to emit an alert tone and transmission will
be inhibited (you cannot transmit). Release the PTT
switch to stop the tone and return to receive mode.
■ Talk-Around
You may occasionally experience an interruption in
service (due to a power failure, etc.). During such an
occurence, you can continue communication by
using the Talk-Around feature, if it has been
programmed by your dealer. Talk-Around allows you
to communicate directly with other transceivers,
without the use of a repeater. However, if the station
you want to contact is too far away, or there are
geographical obstacles in the way, you may not be
able to contact the station.
Toggle Talk-Around ON and OFF by pressing the key
programmed as Talk-Around.
• “T” or “TA” appears on the display while Talk-Around is
active.
• When using Talk-Around, the “receive” frequency is
used for both transmission and reception, and the QT/
DQT “decode” signalling is used for both encoding and
decoding.
