GENERAL FEATURES

Stealth Mode
The stealth mode disables the following tones and indicators so
that they do not reveal that you are transmitting or otherwise indicate
your presence. The speaker audio and display remain enabled in this
mode.
• All tones (see “Tone Select” on page 26)
• The front panel transmit/busy indicator (see page 11)
• Display backlight
The stealth mode can be selected by the STEALTH menu
parameter (see page 33), or is fixed in the on or off mode by
programming. There is no special indication that this mode is
selected except that “On” is displayed under “STEALTH” when it is
selected by the menu mode.
Time-Out Timer
The time-out timer disables the transmitter if it is keyed contin-
uously for longer than the programmed time. It can be programmed
for 0.5 - 5.0 minutes or disabled entirely. If the transmitter is keyed
continuously for longer than the programmed time, the transmitter is
disabled, “TIMEOUT” is indicated on the lower line of the display,
and the intercept tone sounds. The timer and tone are reset by
releasing the PTT switch.
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 transmitter. It can also prevent possible damage to the trans-
mitter 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 33
for more information on using the menu mode.
