5.6.c Transmission
1) Ensure that no one else is talking on the selected channel (consult
previous paragraph).
2) Keep pressed the PTT button. The status LED is constantly lit
indicating that you are transmitting. The icon of the display
flashes once every second.
3) Wait a brief moment, and then speak in a normal voice, into the
transceiver’s microphone at a distance of approx. 5 cm. All stations
that are tuned on the same channel will hear your message.
4) When you have completed your message, release the PTT button:
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.
5.7 Operational modes (open or restricted traffic)
MIDLAND G2 can be used in two ways:
Mode Pre-set
on channels
Notes
Open traffic
(without
CTCSS/DCS)
From 1 to 8 It is the mode so far described
which allows maximum flexibility
with devices of other manufactures.
However, if others who are not
part of your line of communication
use the channel you are using in
your area, you will also hear their
conversation. Open traffic is not
ideal for professional purposes, as
communication which is not relevant
for you may distract you.
Restricted
traffic
(with
CTCSS/DCS)
From 9 to 16
(with CTCSS
Nr. 16 tone)
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 traffic mode follow the
procedure set out in par. 7.1.
