GME TX3200 - Manual (Page 4)

SELECTING CHANNELS
Select the required channel by rotating the
channel selector knob. Rotate the knob
clockwise to select higher channels and
counter-clockwise to select lower channels.
The selected channel is displayed on the LCD.
SQUELCH
The squelch is used to eliminate any annoying
background noise when there are no signals
present. The TX3200 features a preset squelch
system. The squelch level has been factory set
to provide optimum performance.
The Squelch can be Opened or Closed with
the
SQL key. When the Squelch is Open, the
receiver’s background noise can be heard
and ‘
BUSY’ is displayed. When the Squelch is
closed, the receiver remains quiet when there
are no signals present but any incoming signals
will override the Squelch and be heard in the
speaker.
To Open the Squelch, briefly press the SQL
key. A low beep with be heard. If there are
no signals present you will hear the receiver’s
background noise.
To Close the Squelch, briefly press the SQL
key again. A high beep will be heard and the
receiver will become quiet.
DUPLEX SWITCH
Duplex operation allows the TX3200 to
transmit on a different frequency to that which
it receives. This allows operation through
any repeater stations in your area. Repeaters
automatically re-transmit your signal over a
wider area, providing greatly increased range.
The Duplex function operates only on channels
1 - 8. When Duplex is selected on one of these
channels, the TX3200 receives on that channel
but actually transmits 30 channels higher.
E.g.
The TX3200 allows you to select duplex
operation on individual channels. This is
particularly useful in country areas where
there may only be one or two repeaters.
Then unused repeater channels can be used
for normal simplex or direct radio-to-radio
communications.
To select Duplex on individual channels:
1. Select the required channel 1 - 8.
2. Briefly press the DUP key. “DUP” will
appear on the display accompanied by a
high beep.
To remove Duplex from a channel:
1. Select the required channel 1 - 8. “ DUP”
will be visible on the display.
2. Briefly press the DUP key. “DUP” will
disappear from the display accompanied
by a low beep.
PRIORITY CHANNEL
The Priority channel feature allows you to store
one of the 40 channels in the TX3200 as a
priority channel that can be instantly recalled at
the press of a key. This can be used to provide
instant access to your working channel or your
local repeater channel.
To store a Priority channel:
1. Select the required channel.
2. Press and hold the PRI key. The channel
display will flash for a moment then a high
beep will be heard as the selected channel
is stored.
To recall a Priority channel:

immediately switch to the Priority channel
accompanied by a high beep.
