The Transmit Battery Saver helps extend battery life by

an apparently nearby station is being received. Caution
is advised when using this feature, as your transmission
power could degrade the audio heard by the receiving ra-
dios in your communication path.
Disabling the Transmit Battery saver by pressing (or press

erating in a location where high power is almost always
required.

and anotherARTS™-equipped transceivers and stations
are within communication range using the DCS Encoder/
