SKIPPING OVER BUSY CHANNELS WHILE SCANNING
When scanning, if the radio pauses on a busy channel and you
don’t wish to listen to the conversation briefly press either of the
or keys. The radio will skip over that channel and resume
scanning from the next channel in the sequence.
TRANSMITTING WHILE SCANNING
When scanning, your radio remembers the last channel on which
it transmitted and will automatically return to that channel each
time the PTT is pressed.
Before scanning, you can define your initial transmit channel by
preselecting that channel first before you press the
key.
Once scanning has commenced, pressing the PTT will pause the
scan and your radio will transmit on the preselected channel. If
there is no activity on the channel after 5 seconds the
scan resumes.
•
If scanning pauses on a (different) busy channel and you press
the PTT during this time, the busy channel becomes your new
default transmit channel. If there is no activity on the channel
after 5 seconds the scan resumes but subsequent presses of
the PTT will return you to this new channel. This allows you to
continue to use this channel even if pauses in the conversation
exceed the 5 second timeout period.
•
If the radio stops on another busy channel then restarts
without the PTT being pressed, your default transmit channel
won’t change.
INSTALLATION
The TX3100 is supplied with a slim, U-shaped mounting bracket.
The bracket can be screwed or bolted in any convenient location
in your vehicle (under or above the dash, on the centre console,
etc.) using the mounting slots provided in the bracket. The
TX3100 contains a built-in speaker and should be installed in a
location where the sound can be heard from the driver’s position.
Alternatively it can be installed in a less audible location and an
extension speaker used instead.
The microphone comes complete with a mounting clip. Its light
weight design allows it to be mounted in almost any convenient
position accessible to the driver.
When installing the radio, avoid mounting it close to heaters or
air conditioners. Screw the microphone’s clip to a firm surface. Fit
the TX3100 into the bracket and tighten the gimbal knobs. Place
the microphone in its mounting clip. Finally, plug the microphone
into the front panel of the TX3100 and the power and antenna
leads into the sockets provided on the rear of the radio.
