Transmit
The Transmit screen will be displayed after you touch Transmit [T] on the Diagnostic Tools
screen or press “T” on the keyboard and select a frequency (see page 17) if you are in the
frequency hopping mode. If you are in the narrow band mode, you will immediately see the
Transmit screen. The purpose of the Transmit screen is to help you determine the best location
for the repeater so that a receiver on the street can hear the repeater’s transmissions.
