eSet the suitable time period for each TAC (TAD),Call LET Timer and Ack LET Timer if neces-sary.

DD Explanation of 5-tone Repeater Use :Firstly, set the Call LET timer with a slightly largerthan usual time parameter, and transmit a call. Bydoing this, you can confirm whether or not the calledstation transmits an ACK.Example of time parameter : 0.5 sec.The Call LET timer value decreases in 0.05 sec.increments until the called stations transmit ACK dis-appears. A value of 0.05 sec. above that when theACK disappears should be set.Then set the same value gained (In this case0.05 sec.) in the Ack LET timer item too.The setting of the LET timer is completed at thispoint. It may be possible to receive an ACK from thecalled station via the repeater, but in general confir-mation of the TAC timer should be made.In the case that you cannot receive an ACK from thecalled station via the repeater even though the LETtimer setting is complete, try the following procedure.*If an ACK is not being received via the repeater, set theTAC timer to open with a larger 1.0 sec. margin.

The TAC timer value decreases in 0.1 sec. incre-ments until the value is 0.5 sec. above that at thetime the reception of the called stations ACK via therepeater disappears, should be set.


CLEAR DOWN TRANSMISSION 4

Inhibiting the Clear Down transmission DD Cloning data settingqSelect a no reset code transmitting action, that

does not contain R1 and R2 for Moni, in SwitchAction in Memory Channel (Bank) screen. The Clear Down signal is transmitted as the reset

code, therefore the transceiver returns to inaudiblecondition without transmitting the Clear Down signalwhen no reset code is transmitted with [Monitor].

Select OFF in Moni in the Switch Action item toinhibit Clear Down transmission and inaudiblecondition. By doing this the Clear Down com-mand is given by the base station only.

When OFF is selected for Moni in SwitchAction, set the desired time period for eachTimer A, Timer B and Inactive Timer in AutoReset item.Also select Timer A + Inactive or Timer B +Inactive for Auto Reset in Switch Action inMemory Channel (Bank) to set the respectivetimer values.

These settings allow return to the inaudible condi-tion after the specified time period has passed,even when no Clear Down signal is received.
