5.4 Priority
This function monitors two frequencies alternately to increase
efficiency for receiving signals.
Every 5 seconds, the DJ-C7 momentarily switches from a
specified frequency to the frequency which is programmed as
a priority channel (see on P.XX) for 0.5 seconds.
1. Hold the key down for a second to start the
Priority monitoring function.
The "PRI" icon will appear on the LCD.
2. Press the key while it is monitoring on the
specified frequency band to release this function.
Tip
• You are required to program a priority channel in
advance. Otherwise, a beep sounds and the above
operations can't be done. For more information on how to
program, please refer to "Programming a Memory
Channel" on P.XX.
• Scanning is not available during Priority monitoring
function.
• Even if a signal is received in the priority channel side, it
returns to the specified frequency band after a lapse of 5
seconds.
• You can specify a frequency in either VFO mode or one
of the memory channels (general).
5.5 Tone Squelch and the Related Functions
The Tone Squelch (The T and the SQ icons appear on the LCD
when it is set) is a function to unmute (open) squelch only when
one of the tone (encoder) frequency you set matches the tone
of another station.
Besides, when you set a decoder frequency and tell it to
another station, the station would easily catch your signals to
communicate with.
This function allows you to communicate with other stations
easily and quickly.
1. Press the key, and press the key while the F
icon appears on the LCD.
Both the T icon and a tone frequency are displayed on the
LCD. The tone encoder function is now ready to set.
2. Rotate the dial to adjust to a tone encoder frequency.
If you want to activate a repeater, press the PTT key or leave 5
seconds as it is to complete the setting. Also, go on to "Shift /
Split Function" on P.XX.
Otherwise, follow below steps.
3. Press the key while the tone encoder frequency
is displayed on the LCD.
The T icon, the SQ icon, and the programmed tone encoder
frequency are displayed on the LCD. The tone
encoder/decoder function (Tone Squelch) is now ready to set.
4. Rotate the dial to adjust to a tone decoder frequency.
It is possible to set a tone encoder and a tone decoder
frequency independently. You may set different frequencies
between an encoder and a decoder.
5. Press the PTT key or leave 5 seconds as it is to
complete the setting.
Tone Squelch function will be performed.
