Advanced Operations; Selecting A Transmit Power; Talk Around - Kenwood TK-2180 Mode D'emploi

ELECTING A
Each channel is programmed with either high or low transmit
power by your dealer. You can change the transmit power of
only channels programmed as high.
When you can reliably communicate with other parties without
using high transmit power, select low transmit power by
pressing the key programmed as Low Transmission Power.
Each time you press Low Transmission Power, the transmit
power toggles between high and low.
• The icon appears while using low transmit power.
• Using low transmit power conserves battery power and reduces the
risk of interfering with other communications.
Note: Pressing Low Transmission Power while using a channel
programmed with low power causes an error tone to sound.

You may occasionally experience an interruption in service
(due to a power failure, etc.). During such an occurrence,
you can continue communication by using the Talk Around
feature. Talk Around allows you to communicate directly with
other transceivers, without the use of a repeater. However,
if the station you want to contact is too far away, or there are
geographical obstacles in the way, you may not be able to
contact the station.
Toggle Talk Around ON and OFF by pressing the key
programmed as Talk Around.
• The icon appears on the display while Talk Around is active.
• When using Talk Around, the receive frequency is used for both
transmitting and recieving, and the decode signaling is used for
both encoding and decoding.
