Kenwood TM-3530A - Manual (Page 27)

To manually release the code squelch, press the C.SQ
key again or press the PTT switch. (This does not
start transmission.)
Channel linkage using the DCL system is effective
even in code squelch mode.
With the DCL system ON (DCL key ON) in the code
squelch condition (C.SQ key ON), turning the DCL key
OFF will also release the code squelch function.
• The alert function has priority over code squelch oper­
ation.
4-8-5. Channel linkage
Channel linkage operations cannot be performed until
you have completed entering at least one digital access
code. This information is required for proper system
operation. You do not need to use the code but it must
be present. The DCL function allow easy one touch QSY
to the first available open channel, of not only your radio,
but the receiving radio as well.
Operating procedure Operation Remarks
1. Enter the frequency that you want
open channel searches to begin from
into memory channel A.

Memory entry is as discussed in previ­
ous sections. The digital channel search
will search up to 11 channels from the
frequency stored in memory channel A (a
total of 12 channels).
(With the TM-2570A/2550A/2550E/
2530A)
The step size is: 15 kHz (or 20 kHz by
cutting internal diode) for the
TM-2570A/2550A/2530A, and 25 kHz
with the TM-2550E.
Example: When 146.400 MHz is en­
tered in CH A (TM-2570A/
2550A/2530A) search pro­
ceeds as follows:
1. 146.400
2. 146.415
3. 146.430
12. 146.565
(With the TM-3530A)
The step size is: 20 kHz (or 40 kHz by
cutting internal diode)
Example: When 223.540 MHz is en­
tered in CH A search pro­
ceeds as follows:
1. 223.540
2. 223.560
3. 223.580
If you have entered a fre­
quency into memory channel
"b", that is one of the fre­
quencies that will be
scanned by the channel
search function, that fre­
quency will not be selected
as the open channel, even if
it is vacant.
Note:
Open channel search will not
stop on the original fre­
quency under any circum­
stance.
