The ARTS TM feature allows two kinds of alert beeps (with the additional option of turning
them off), to alert you to the current status of ARTS TM operation. Depending on your
location and the potential annoyance associated with frequent beeps, you may choose the
Beep mode which best suits your needs. The choices are:
IN RANGE IN RANGE IN RANGE IN RANGE IN RANGE : The beeps are issued only when the radio first confirms that you are
within range, but does not re-confirm with beeps thereafter.
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS : Every time a polling transmission is received from the other station, the
alert beeps will be heard.
OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF : No alert beeps will be heard; you must look at the display to confirm
current ARTS
TM status.
