DTSS and Repeaters
Pressing [PTT] transmits the DTSS signal after a short
delay. This delay helps avoid losing DTSS data when
using repeaters with long response times that may miss
receiving a portion of the DTSS code. The delay time is
250 ms during simplex operation.
When using a transmit offset or a split frequency, you
can select either 350 ms (default), 550 ms, or 750 ms.
