USEFUL FUNCTIONS 16 INHIBITING TRANSMISSION This function prevents erroneous transmissions. If this function is enabled, the transceiver cannot transmit even when pressing the PTT (microphone) switch. No received audio sounds while the PTT switch is being pressed. Transmission can be inhibited in the following cases. • You want to operate the master transceiver only for reception while two transceivers are in split transfer operation. The transceiver does not practically transmit and no audio sounds even if you attempt to transmit using the master transceiver. • You do not want the host transceiver to transmit while the KENWOOD NETWORK COMMAND SYSTEM (KNS) is in use for the PC control of this transceiver. Follow the procedure below to enable the Transmit Inhibit. 1 Select Group No. 6, "TX/RX Filters & Misc.", from the Menu screen. 2 Access Menu 03, "TX Inhibit". 3 Press [SELECT] (F4) to allow editing of the parameter box. DX PACKETCLUSTER TUNE You can perform DX PacketCluster tuning while the transceiver is connected to another transceiver.
