RX TX C001 Channel EMG 98765 22) Repeater mode BASE TECH III repeats automatically when programmed as a repeater. a) Rx mode = digital Repeats only the same NAC code. If the NAC is $F7F, all incoming signals are repeated. . Repeating shuts automatically after 0.0-9.9 seconds if no incoming signal is detected (time programmable). b) Rx mode = Mix In addition with above conditions, radio repeats the correct CTCSS, DCS are detected, or only the carrier as well. Radio can not repeat analog and digital at the same time. 23) Remote control BASE TECH III can be controlled by remotely. Keep the EXT/CH at low level, then switch ON, radio works as remote mode. If you switch ON first, prior to the LOW level, no remote mode is activated. To recover normal mode, EXT/CH set at HI. Please note the maximum channels through remote control is up to 256 channels. CHO - CH7 : all low ... CH-1 CHO - CH7 : all high........ C H-256 Figure-below shows CH –1 in remote control mode.
