D Transmitting notes

The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict
transmission under the following conditions:

- The channel is in mute condition (‘Inaudible’ condition; “

”

does not appear).

- Channel is busy.
- No matched (or matched) CTCSS is received.
- The selected channel is a ‘receive only’ channel.

After continuous transmission for a pre-programmed period,
the time-out timer is activated causing the transceiver to stop
transmitting and automatically select receive.

Once the time-out timer is activated, transmission is further
inhibited for a period determined by the penalty timer.
