PTT switch, then press it again and continue talking.
If the Transmit Indicator does not glow and a tone sounds, you are
on a receive-only channel or the channel is busy (see Busy Channel
Lockout). Select an authorized transmit channel.
NOTE: When using a channel programmed for mixed mode transmit
the signal will be transmitted in the mode selected by the TX Digital
selection. Or if programmed for Mixed Mode Talkback, the radio will
transmit in the mode of the last received channel while the “RX” icon is
displayed. (See Mixed Mode Operation.)
Command Zone Operation
The BKR9000 portable radio allows construction of Command Zones
drawn from any of the programmed channels in standard operating
zones. Each zone is designated as a Standard Operating Zone or a
Command Zone with the PC Radio Editor.
Building a Command Zone [CHAN+]
To build a Command Zone the “Channel Add/Delete” function must be
assigned to a programmable button.
While operating in a standard zone press the “CHAN+” button to add
the currently selected channel to a command zone. The list of available
command zones will be displayed. Use the up/down arrows to select
the zone to add the channel or use the number keys to move directly to
the desired zone.
Pressing the “Enter” button copies the channel information to the rst
available channel slot in the selected command zone.
Example: If the command zone has three channels, the newly added
channel will be channel four.
Editing a Command Zone [CHAN-]
When operating in a Command Zone, press the “CHAN-” button to
remove the selected channel from the zone.
When a channel is deleted, the display momentarily shows “Channel
Deleted”, and the following channels move up in the list. For example, if
channel 5 is deleted, channel 6 becomes the new channel 5, channel 7
becomes the new channel 6, etc.
NOTE: Modications to a command zone channel, such as User
Selected Tones, do not a󰀨ect the original standard zone channel.
