Kenwood TH-42A - Manual (Page 48)

PAGE
OVERVIEW
Page is available only on transceivers equipped with a
DTMF keypad.
Similar to DTSS, Page uses DTMF codes to address a
single station or a group of stations. Page is useful
when waiting to receive a call from a specific station. A
common group Page code and individual codes should
be agreed on in advance. You can select codes from
the range 000 to 999 inclusive.
Unlike DTSS, Page offers the added benefit of identifying
who called you. The calling station’s code appears on
the target transceiver’s display. If called with an
individual code, the individual caller code appears; if
called with a group code, the group code appears. This
characteristic of Page helps reduce the activity level on a
frequency when operators are temporarily absent from
their stations. There is no longer a need for repeated
calls when your target station is not listening. On return
to his or her operating position, their transceiver display
will show your station code. They will know immediately
that you called.
PAGE CODE MEMORY
The transceiver has 8 Page code memories in total.
A : Stores your station code.
0 : Stores the calling station’s code. The
transceiver automatically stores this code
while in Receive. You can also use the
stored code to respond to the other station.
1 to 6 : Stores group codes or local station codes.
STORING PAGE CODES

procedure:
1 Press [F], [1] to switch ON Page.
