Non-Standard offset
Refers to a transmit frequency offset used to access
repeaters that is some value or direction other than that
stipulated by existing band plans for a particular region.
See "Transmit offset".
Open Page
When used in conjunction with Page, all signals received
will open the receiver squelch. However, for signals
encoded with a Page code, the calling station’s Page
code appears on the target transceiver’s display.
Page
A function that allows one station to signal another by
sending a transmission encoded with a Page code that
only opens the squelch of a receiver with the same code
selected. The calling station’s code identifier appears on
the target station’s display after a successful Page.
Page code memory
A memory channel dedicated to storing only Page codes.
See "Page".
Page Transmit Delay
The delay intentionally introduced at the transmitter to
delay transmission of Page codes after PTT is pressed.
The delay can improve the reliability of Page when
communicating with a receiver with slow response time.
PTT (Push-to-talk)
Refers to the non-latching switch that changes the
transceiver from Receive to Transmit mode.
QSO
Refers to a contact between two Amateur stations.
Repeater
A station, usually installed in a central location at a high
elevation, designed to receive and.re-transmit signals.
The purpose of a repeater is to increase the receive and
transmit range of stations able to access the repeater.
Reset (initialization)
The act of restarting the transceiver microcomputer.
Depending on the type of reset done, some or all
memory may be erased and set to default values. A
reset can be done as a last resort when the transceiver
appears to be malfunctioning.
Reverse
A function that switches the transmit and receive
frequencies.
Scan
The general term for several functions that allow a series
of frequencies or memories to be monitored sequentially
and automatically without intervention by the operator.
