OPERATION (Continued)

Priority-Scan Operation

Operation of the radio with the priority function

selected in the scan mode is similar to that of the

non-priority scan mode with one exception.

If the

radio stops scanning ("locks up") on a non-priority

channel the radio will occasionally look at the

priority channel. If there is activity on the

priority channel the radio will stay on the priority

channel; if not, the radio will go back to the

channel that was interrupted.

Transmitter

To transmit, select the desired channel, lift

the microphone off-hook, monitor to be sure the

channel is not in use, key the transmitter and speak

into the microphone. To key the transmitter press

the push-to-talk (PTT) button on the side of the

microphone.

Two-way conversation is accomplished by

the push-to-talk, release-to-listen operation of the

PTT button on the microphone. When transmitting a

message make the conversation compendious and clear.

Note that the PTT button on the microphone is

not enabled when the microphone is on-hook

(microphone hang-up button connected to chassis

ground). Also, while transmitting, the keyboard is

disabled so accidental pressing of a button on the

keyboard will not interrupt the transmission.
