STANDARD GROUP CALLS
29
One use of the time-out timer feature is to prevent a repeater from
being kept busy for an extended period by an accidentally keyed trans-
mitter. It can also prevent possible damage to the transmitter caused by
transmitting for an excessively long period.
Tone Select
If the TONES menu parameter is selectable, the tones that sound can
be selected. Otherwise, the tones that sound are fixed by programming.
The following choices are available. Refer to page 36 for more informa-
tion on using the menu mode.
Silent - All tones are disabled.
Keys - Only the key press tones are enabled.
Alerts - All tones except the preceding key press tones are enabled.
All - Both the key press and alert tones are enabled.
STANDARD GROUP CALLS
General
Most calls you make are probably the standard group type described
in this section. These calls are between you and another mobile or control
station. The main difference between these calls and the other types is
that no number is dialed using a keypad. The following procedure applies
to all three types of operation (LTR-Net, LTR, and conventional).
Placing a Standard Group Call
1. Turn transceiver power on and set the volume as described starting on
page 20. With conventional operation, also make sure that the squelch
is properly set as described on page 49.
2. Select the system and group of the mobile being called as described on
page 21.
3. If a conventional call is being placed, monitor the channel manually or
automatically as described on page 50.
