6.2 DTMF
DTMF is an in-band signaling method using dual sinusoidal signals for any given code. Originally developed for telephony systems, it has
proved a very versatile tool in many other areas.
In two-way radio systems, DTMF is most commonly used for automation systems and remote control. A common example would be in amateur
radio repeaters where some repeaters are activated by sending out a DTMF sequence (usually a simple single-digit sequence).

The radios has a full implementation of DTMF, including the A, B, C and D codes. The numerical keys, as well as the and keys
correspond to the matching DTMF codes. The A, B, C and D codes are located in the [MENU], , and [EXIT] keys respectively.
To send DTMF codes, press the key(s) corresponding to the message you want to send while holding down the PTT key.
In general, there are two forms of selective calling in two-way radio systems: Group call, and Private call.
Group call, as the name suggest, is a one-to-many form of communication. Every radio in your working group is configured the same way and
any radio will make contact with every other radio in the group.
Private call, some times also known as paging, is a one-to-one form of communication.
Every radio is programmed with a unique ID code. And only by sending out a matching code can you get that radio to open up to your
transmissions.
6.3 Dual Watch
In certain situations, the ability to monitor two channels at once can be a valuable asset. This can be achieved in one of two ways. You can either
have one receiver in your radio and flip-flop between two frequencies at a fixed interval (known as Dual Watch), or you can equip a radio with
two receivers (known as Dual Receive or Dual VFO). The former method is cheaper to implement and far more common than the latter.
The radio features Dual Watch functionality (single receiver) with the ability to lock the transmit frequency to one of the two channels it
monitors.
Enabling or disabling Dual Watch mode
(1) Press the [MENU] key to enter the main menu.
(2) Enter 3 on the numeric keypad to get to Radio Settings.
(3) Press the [
MENU] key to confirm, enter 15 on the numeric keypad to get to 15 Dual Watch.
(4) Press the [MENU] key to select.
(5) Use the or keys to enable or disable.
(6) Press the [MENU] key to confirm.
(7) Press [EXIT] to return to the previous menu.
The dual watch function is turned on, and the icon 'D' is displayed on the top line of the screen.
·
Repeat the above operation, select "OFF", the dual watch function is disabled, and the icon 'D' on the top line of the screen disappears.
Note: When the dual watch function is turned on, the icon 'D' is displayed on the screen, and the "Singal Mode" submenu is automatically
shielded in the radio setting menu.
After the dual watch is turned off, the radio setting menu will automatically add "Singal Mode". After turning on the single display mode, the
radio will display the channel name, frequency and channel sequence on the same screen.
6.4 Manual Programming (Channels Memory)
Memory channels are an easy way to store commonly used frequencies so that they can easily be retrieved at a later date.
The radios features 10 zones /1000 memory channels that each can hold: Receive and transmit frequencies, transmit power, group signaling
information, bandwidth, ANI/ PTT-ID settings and a six character alphanumeric identifier or channel name
1
.
Frequency Mode vs. Channel Mode
In standby mode, press [P1] key to switch between frequency (VFO) mode and channel (MR) mode.
These two modes have different functions and are often confused.
