46 FT-8800R Operating Manual
The ARTS feature uses DCS signaling to inform both parties when you and another ARTS-
equipped station are within communications range. This may be particularly useful during
Search-and Rescue situations, where is important to stay in contact with other members of
your group.
Both stations must set up their DCS codes to the same code number, then activate their
ARTS feature using the command appropriate for their radio. Alert ringers may be acti-
vated, if desired.
Whenever you push the PTT switch, or every 25 seconds after ARTS is activated, your
radio will transmit a signal which includes a (subaudible) DCS signal for about one second.
If the other radio is in range, the beeper will sound (if enabled) and the display will show
IN.RNGIN.RNG
IN.RNGIN.RNG
IN.RNG” as opposed to the out of range display “
OUT.RNGOUT.RNG
OUT.RNGOUT.RNG
OUT.RNG” in which ARTS operation
begins.
Whether you talk or not, the polling every 25 seconds will continue until you de-activate
ARTS. Every 10 minutes, moreover, you can have your radio transmit your callsign via
CW, so as to comply with identification requirements. When ARTS is de-activated, DCS
will also be deactivated (if you were not using it previously in non-ARTS operation).
If you move out of range for more than one minute (four pollings), your radio will sense
that no signal has been received, three beeps will sound, and the display will revert to
OUT.RNGOUT.RNG
OUT.RNGOUT.RNG
OUT.RNG.” If you move back into range, your radio will again beep, and the display will
change back to the “
IN.RNGIN.RNG
IN.RNGIN.RNG
IN.RNG” indication.
During ARTS operation, it is not possible to change the operating frequency or other set-
tings on the “Main” band; you must terminate ARTS in order to resume normal operation.
This is a safety feature designed to prevent accidental loss of contact due to channel change,
etc. Here is how to activate ARTS:
