4. Group Features
You can use these features using the programming soft-
ware (KPG-38D).
4-1. "TOT" (Time-Out Timer)
The transceiver has the "TOT". This parameter selects
the period of time users can continuously transmit.
When the selected period passes, the transceiver gener-
ates an warning tone and stops the transmission.
4-2. "TOT" Pre-Alert
The transceiver has "TOT" pre-alert timer. This param-
eter selects the time at which the transceiver generates
"TOT" pre-alert tone before "TOT" is expired.
"TOT" will be expired when the selected time passes
from a TOT pre-alert tone.
4-3. "TOT" Re-Key Time
The transceiver has "TOT" re-key timer. This timer is the
time you can not transmit after "TOT" exceeded. After
"TOT" re-key time expired you can transmit again.
4-4. "TOT" Reset Time
The transceiver has "TOT" reset timer. This timer is the
minimum wait time allowed during a transmission that will
reset the "TOT" count.
"TOT" reset time causes the "TOT" to continue even
after PTT is released unless the "TOT" reset timer has ex-
pired.
4-5. Group Delete/Add
The transceiver can set the delete/add in each group. If
"Delete" is selected, the transceiver does not scan the de-
leted group in multi group scan.
4-6. Battery Save
This is the automatic battery saver during a standby
mode operation. The receiver circuit is repeated on and off
to conserve the battery life.
4-7. Signalling
Signalling "AND/OR" sets the audio unmute condition
for any channel programmed with the option signalling (2-
Tone/DTMF).
AND : "AND" requires both the valid option signalling
and the programmed QT/DQT to be received for audio to
unmute (and initiate an option signalling decode alert).
OR : "OR" requires either the valid option signalling or
the programmed QT/DQT to be received for audio to
unmute (an option signalling decode alert is only initiated
if the proper option signalling is decoded).
