DCS (Digitally Coded Squelch)
Your UHF080 provides for 104 DCS codes. These are digitally coded
squelch codes which provide additional privacy.
To select a DCS code
1. Press the CTCSS / DCS button twice, DCS oF appears on the
LCD display.
2. Rotate the Channel button or press Up / Down. Select on the Mic to
select the desired DCS channel code.
3. Press the CTCSS / DCS button once to return to standby.
Receive & Transmit Indicator
The LED indictor will illuminate green when the unit is receiving a
signal, when transmitting it will illuminate red. When in standby the
LED is out.
Time Out Timer (ToT)
Australian and New Zealand standards require that if the PTT is
pressed for more than 3 minutes the unit must stop transmitting. The
UHF080 is set to stop transmitting after 2 minutes and 30 seconds of
continous transmitting. After that time the unit will stop transmitting
and TOT will appear in the display to indicate that the ToT has
activated.
Using the Duplex (DPX) feature
Your radio has a Repeater Access function to allow use of local
Repeater stations (if available in your area). Repeaters are shared radio
system installed by interested parties (clubs, local business etc.) that
pick transmissions on specific channels and re-transmit (or repeat) the
received signal to another channel.
The Repeater Access function can be set (from channel 1 to 8) used
by local repeater stations. For example, if there are 3 repeater stations
in your area (say, channel 1, 3 and 5) you only need to set the repeater
access for these specific access. When activated, your radio will
receive the Repeater on its specific channel (all repeater outputs are
on channel 1 to 8) but transmits to the repeater channel 31 through
38. So, if you are in the range of a local repeater which transmits on
channel 2, after setting your radio to allow access of the repeater on
that channel, you will select channel 2 as normal, but during transmit
operation your radio will automatically transmit to the repeater on
channel 32.
To Turn Duplex (DPX) ON
1. Press and hold the DPX button for 2 seconds, DPX will appear on
the LCD display.
To Turn Duplex (DPX) OFF
1. Press and hold the DPX button for 2 seconds, the DPX will
disappear from the LCD display.
