Option Description
PTBP
Enables/disables the transmission of a beep when the local push-to-talk (PTT) button is
released. This beep is used to notify the other stations that the local (your) radio set has
stopped transmitting and returned to the receive mode: therefore, another radio can start
transmitting.
KBBP
Enables/disables the keypad beep. When enabled, a beep is heard whenever a valid key
is pressed.
TONE
Select the keypad beep level: high or low. The selection is relevant only when the keypad
beep is enabled.
ADT
Selects the alternate display time-out, that is, the time after which a keypad sequence is
automatically aborted in case no action is taken. In this case, the display returns to the
previous screen.
The time-out interval can be selected in the range of 1 to 10 seconds.
ATTN
Enables/disables the use of an internal RF attenuator. The attenuator is used to reduce
interference when your radio is located near strong transmitters.
CW
Select the channel filter bandwidth used in the CW mode:
• 0.25 – 250 Hz
• 0.5 – 500 Hz
• 0.8 – 800 Hz
A lower value improves the reception but requires better frequency accuracy.
RCLV
Enables/disables the receive signal level display. If the receive signal indication is not
enabled, you can temporarily enable it using one of the function keys.
DIM
Enables/disables automatic dimming of the display.
Usually, the display operates continuously. However, you can program the display to be
normally off, and be automatically turned on when the transceiver detects any type of
activity (keypad, PTT, incoming call, etc.). The ADT option selects the time before the
display is again turned off when inactive.
RTSC
Controls the way scanning is resumed while operating in the CCIR mode:
• YES – scanning is automatically resumed after an idle time of 2 minutes.
• NO – the operator must manually resume scanning.
