1 BASIC FUNCTIONSFUNC (K)/Ver. 1.01 Confidential Contents Index 31.3 Transmit and ReceiveFrequencyThis is a frequency pair used for transmitting andreceiving data.A transmit frequency and a receive frequency can beconfigured for each channel by using KPG-101D.Table 1-2 Transmit/ Receive Frequencies and Step Sizes Configuration using KPG-101D• Configuring Transmit and Receive Frequency foreach channel (Refer to FPRG 6.4.3 Receivefrequency and 6.4.4 Transmit frequency.)• Configuring Transmit and Receive Frequency forthe Home Repeater (Refer to FPRG 6.5.3 ReceiveFrequency, 6.5.4 Transmit Frequency.)1.4 Transmit PowerLow can be configured for the transmit power to conservebattery power if a repeater or the receiving party isnearby. Using low transmit power extends the operatingtime of the transceiver.Transmit power can be configured for each CH/GID usingKPG-101D.Transmit Power can be configured using the LowTransmit Power key.Table 1-3 Transmit Power: Low/ HighNote: The transmit power cannot be switched to High TransmitPower even if the Low Transmit Power key is pressedwhile on CH/GIDs configured for Low Transmit Power. Inthis case, the transceiver emits the Key-entry Error Tone. Configuration using KPG-101D• Configuring the Transmit Power (Low or High) foreach channel (Refer to FPRG 6.4.9 TransmitPower.)• Configuring the Transmit Power (High or Low) foreach Group ID (Refer to FPRG 6.6.6 TransmitPower.)• Assigning functions to the Selector and PF keys(Refer to FPRG 6.8 Key Assignment.)1.5 Channel SpacingChannel Spacing is the bandwidth used forcommunication.Channel Spacing can be configured for each channelusing KPG-101D.Table 1-4 Channel Spacing: Wide/ Narrow Configuration using KPG-101D• Configuring the Channel Spacing (Wide or Narrow)for each channel (Refer to FPRG 6.4.10 Wide/Narrow.)• Configuring the Channel Spacing (Wide or Narrow)for each repeater (Refer to FPRG 6.3.3 Wide/Narrow.)1.6 Squelch LevelSquelch Level determines the received signal levelnecessary for output to be heard from the speaker.When the received signal is weak, configure a lowerSquelch level value. Increase Squelch Level to blockspeaker output of unwanted weak signals.Table 1-5 Squelch LevelModel Transmit and Receive FrequencyRange [MHz] Step [kHz]TK-2170 136 to 174 2.5/ 5.0/ 6.25/ 7.5TK-3170 400 to 430450 to 490 5.0/ 6.25TK-3173 450 to 490 5.0/ 6.25Model Transmit Power [W]Low HighTK-2170 1 5TK-3170 1 4TK-3173 1 4Model Channel Spacing [kHz]Wide NarrowTK-2170/TK-3170/TK-317325 12.5Range0 1 to 9Mute function iscompletely disabled.Shallow (Small) toTight (Large)In steps of 1
