3) Waitabriefmoment,andthenspeakinanormalvoice,intothe
transceiver’s microphone at a distance of approx. 5 cm. All stations
that are tuned on the same channel will hear your message.
4) Whenyouhavecompletedyourmessage,releasethe
PTTbutton:
The status LED is turned off and the
icon disappears from
the display and the transceiver returns to reception.
2 Radio communication does not normally allow talking and receiving
simultaneously. For this reason complete your messages within a
reasonable time. You will reduce battery consumption and you will
allow users to transmit in turn.
2 Obviously, you can only talk with others who are tuned on your
same channel. However if you can hear someone but cannot
transmit to them it is possible that the other party is making use of
CTCSS tones or DCS codes. For further details consult par. 5.7.

From 9 to 16
(with CTCSS
Nr.16tone)
You and anyone else within your
line of communication can hear only
the conversations which use the
same CTCSS tone or DCS code
that you have previously set on all
the devices of the group. CTCSS
and DCS are a sort of access code
which restricts communication only
to devices which are tuned on your
frequency and have set your same
code.
2 If you wish to change the CTCSS tone or the DCS code of a
channel programmed in restricted trafc mode follow the
procedure set out in par. 7.1.
