OTHER FUNCTIONS 16 TX Inhibit This function prevents erroneous transmission. When TX Inhibit is ON, this transceiver does not carry out transmission even when [PTT] on the microphone is pressed. The RX audio also becomes inaudible while [PTT] is pressed. Inhibit transmission in the following cases. • When you want to operate the master transceiver unit as a receive-only unit during operation in the Split Transfer B mode. Transmission is not carried out even when this is attempted using the master transceiver. Audio is also not output. • When you do not wish to transmit signals to the host transceiver while controlling the transceiver via PC using KNS (KENWOOD NETWORK COMMAND SYSTEM). Configure in Menu [6-03] "TX Inhibit" Setting Value Off (default)/ On ● When TX Inhibit is ON, RX audio is muted when the SS terminal signal level of the ACC 2 connector is low. RX audio is also muted while [PTT] is pressed as the signal level of the SS terminal becomes low. ● When TX Inhibit is ON, tuning cannot be performed by the antenna tuner. ● When using this transceiver as a receive-only unit at all times, configure this setting to "On" to prevent erroneous transmission. Packet Cluster Tuning Packet cluster tuning can be performed by connecting TMD710(A/E), TM-D710G(A/E), RC-D710, TM-D700(A/E) or THD72(A/E) to this transceiver. Receiving Packet Cluster Data Follow the steps below to operate TM-D710(A/E)/RC-D710/TMD700(A/E)/TH-D72(A/E). 1 Switch to the APRS or Navitra mode to receive the DX packet cluster data. 2 Display the DX packet cluster and align the cursor with the frequency to tune to. 3 Press the corresponding key to output the frequency value selected in step 2. The operating frequency (VFO) is configured based on the packet cluster data received if the frequency is configurable by this transceiver. • TM-D710(A/E), TM-D710G(A/E), RC-D710: [TUNE] key • TM-D700(A/E): [MHz] key • TH-D72(A/E): [MENU] key ● In the VFO mode, the operating frequency (VFO) that is currently in use is configured. In the memory channel mode, the most recent operating frequency (VFO) is configured. ● Only the RX data sent from TM-D710(A/E)/TMD710G(A/E)/RC-D710/TM-D700(A/E)/TH-D72(A/E) is supported. ● DX packet cluster data cannot be sent out automatically to this transceiver. ● For TM-D700(A/E), version G 2.0 or later is required to use this function. ● Production of the TM-D710(A/E), RC-D710 and TMD700(A/E) have been discontinued. ● For more details on the operation information of the DX packet cluster, please search for information available on other sources.
