Scanning
Monitoring the home channel
The FTM-100DR/DE transceiver is equipped with a dual receive function (also known as
dual watch (DW)) which periodically checks for signals on the home channel. When a
signal is detected, the transceiver receives on the home channel.
Example: While receiving signals on 446.500 MHz, dual receive checks the home
channel every 5 seconds.
Receiving frequency
Monitors the home channel at
intervals of about 5 seconds.
After receiving a signal on the
home channel, the transceiver
continues receiving until the signal
disappears. About 3 seconds after
the signal disappears, the dual
reception starts again.
Caution
When shipped from the factory, the 144 MHz band home channel is set to 145.000 MHz, while the
430 MHz band home channel is set to 433.000 MHz. The registered home channel frequencies may
be changed as desired. (
page 54).
