32 Ray49E Marine VHF Radio
3.10 Transmitting
Press and hold the Push-to-Talk (PTT) key on the microphone to transmit on the
selected channel, and then release to receive. The TX indicator appears during
transmission.
Note:
International regulations and good communications practice dictate that you not
interfere with other communications. Before transmitting, listen to make sure the channel
is clear.
The radio is equipped with a timeout timer in the event of a stuck key. After PTT
has been held continuously for 5 minutes, transmission is discontinued, the
message TX TIMEOUT appears, and an alert tone sounds.
After the timeout, the alarm continues to sound until
PTT is released. The TX time
out timer is reset and the radio returns to receive mode once the
PTT key is
released.
Note:
If the current channel is receive-only, an alert tone sounds when PTT is pressed, in-
dicating such a transmission is not permitted.
