FT-257 OperaTing Manual 39
The ATS feature uses DCS signaling to inform both parties when you and another ATS
equipped station are within communications range. This may be particularly useful dur-
ing Search-and Rescue situations, where is important to stay in contact with other mem-
bers of your group.
Activate their ATS feature using the command appropriate for their radio. Alert ringers
may be activated, if desired.
Whenever you push the
PTT
switch, or every 20 seconds after ATS is activated, your ra-
dio will transmit a signal which includes a (subaudible) DCS
signal for about 1 second. If the other radio is in range, the
beeper will sound (if enabled) and the display will show
IN.
RNG
as opposed to the out of range display
OUT.RNG
in
which ATS operation begins.
Whether you talk or not, the polling every 30 seconds will
continue until you de-activate ATS. Every 10 minutes, more-
over, you can have your radio transmit your callsign via CW,
in order to comply with identication requirements.
If you move out of range for more than one minute (four pollings), your radio will sense
that no signal has been received, beeps will sound, and the display will revert to
OUT.
RNG
.” If you move back into range, your radio will again beeps, and the display will
change back to the “
IN.RNG
” indication.
During ATS operation, your operating frequency will continue to be displayed, but no
changes may be made to it or other settings; you must terminate ATS in order to resume
normal operation. This is a safety feature designed to prevent accidental loss of contact
due to channel change, etc.
