SM06 Rev. 4.10 Tac/Com Control Head Manual
To illustrate the choices possible in the STATUS EDIT MODE, the following diagram
shows all the current options and choices for an NT-series transceiver. While this
appears complicated as a chart, it is very simple to use and just represents a sequence
of clear choices that cycle around for user selection.
When editing is finished, return the EDIT switch to OFF, and the information will be
stored. It is not necessary to go through the entire status listing, and exit is available at
any time. This feature may also be used to check how the radio is set up without
making any changes.
3.6.2
Status Edit Features
The status edit features currently implemented in Tac/Com are as shown and explained
below:
3.6.2.1
TX MODE=
There are two modes possible, either DUPLEX (REPEATER) operation, or SIMPLEX
(DIRECT) operation. This determines whether a common frequency is used for RX and
TX, or whether different frequencies will be used. This function over-rides what is
stored in the individual channel data locations, and allows those stored channels to also
be operated in SIMPLEX mode without taking up another storage location. Not all
radios have this capability.
3.6.2.2
TONES=
Most radios have this capability. TONES can be set ON or OFF for the radio by this
function, thus enabling or disabling any tones which may be set on a per channel basis
through channel editing. NAT NT-series radios and the RT-96/7200 also support a
tones mode of TX ONLY, which enables only the transmit tone, but not the receive tone.
