AUTOMATIC SIMPLEX CHECK (ASC)
While using a repeater, ASC periodically monitors the
strength of a signal that you receive directly from the
other station. If the station’s signal is strong enough to
allow direct contact without a repeater, the ASC indicator
on the display begins blinking.
Press [REV] (1 s) to switch the function ON.
• The ASC indicator appears when the function is ON.
• While direct contact is possible, the ASC indicator blinks.
• To quit the function, press [REV].
Note:
◆ Pressing Mic [PTT] causes the ASC indicator to quit blinking.
◆ ASC does not function if your transmit and receive frequencies are
the same (simplex operation).
◆ ASC does not function while scanning.
◆ Activating ASC while using Reverse switches Reverse OFF.
◆ If you recall a memory channel or the Call channel that contains
Reverse ON status, ASC is switched OFF.
◆ ASC causes receive audio to be momentarily intermitted every 3
seconds.
REVERSE FUNCTION
The reverse function exchanges a separate receive and
transmit frequency. So, while using a repeater, you can
manually check the strength of a signal that you receive
directly from the other station. If the station’s signal is
strong, both stations should move to a simplex frequency
and free up the repeater.
Press [REV] to switch the Reverse function ON (or
OFF).
• “R” appears when the function is ON.
Note:
◆ If pressing [REV] places the transmit frequency outside the allowable
range, then pressing Mic [PTT] causes an error beep to sound;
transmission is inhibited.
◆ If pressing [REV] places the receive frequency outside the allowable
range, an error beep sounds and no reversal occurs.
◆ Automatic Repeater Offset does not function while Reverse is ON.
◆ You cannot switch Reverse ON or OFF while transmitting.
