switch (if available) so that “NORMAL is flashed in the display. Then to
re-enable Call Guard squelch, press the Normal/Selective switch again so
that “SELECTIV” is flashed. The mode selected by this switch does not
change when other channels are selected or power is cycled. Call Guard
squelch can also be disabled by the monitor mode described on page 31.
Keypad Selectable Call Guard Code (CTCSS/DCS)
If you have the full keypad (17-key) model and the ability to change
Call Guard codes has been enabled by programming, the transmit and
receive codes from one channel can be temporarily or permanently reas-
signed to all channels of the current zone. Proceed as follows:
1. Using the number keys, enter the number of the channel that is
programmed with the code you want to reassign to all channels (only
channels 1-9 can be selected). See “Display Mode Selection” on
page 30 for information on displaying channel numbers.
2. The display then briefly indicates “CODE x”, where “x” is the key you
pressed. The codes assigned to that channel are then reassigned to all
the other channels in the current zone. The reassignments remain in
effect even after power is cycled.
3. To restore all Call Guard codes in the current zone to the original
settings, press the “0” key.
NOTE: Keypad programming described starting on page 40 can be used
to change the Call Guard code of individual channels.
Penalty Timer
A penalty timer may be programmed on conventional channels to
prevent transmissions for 15 - 225 seconds after the time-out timer
described on page 22 disables the transmitter. The penalty timer starts
when the PTT switch is released after the transmitter has been disabled. If
the PTT switch is pressed during the penalty time, the time-out indication
occurs again. A beep sounds when the penalty timer expires and the
transmitter can then be keyed.
