Channel Selection; Transmitting And Receiving - Albrecht Tectalk Float 2 Anleitung

4.4. Channel selection

The radios have 16 true PMR446 channels. Select the desired channel using the CH+ and CH-
buttons. The expansion to 16 channels was approved by the authorities in November 2018. Older
radios only support 8 PMR446 channels. If you want to use the Albrecht Tectalk Float 2 with an older
8 channel radio, you can only use the first 8 channels of the Tectalk Float 2.

5. Transmitting and receiving

When the radio is switched on, it is automatically in receive mode as long as you are not transmitting.
When a radio message is received, the message RX appears in the display. Adjust the desired volume
with the VOL+ and VOL- buttons. After 10 seconds of inactivity, the backlight turns off to save power.
The unit can still receive radio transmissions.
To transmit, press and hold the PTT (transmit) button and speak into the microphone at normal volume
and about 5 cm away. The message TX appears in the display. Release the PTT button at the end of
your transmission. To avoid accidental continuous transmission, the unit interrupts transmissions after
one minute and emits a warning tone instead. To continue transmitting, release the PTT button briefly
and then start another transmission.
Before transmitting, make sure the channel is clear by waiting a few seconds for any radio calls from
other participants. If you are using a CTCSS or DCS tone (see „6.2. CTCSS / DCS tones" on page
16), use the monitor function (see „6.6. Monitor" on page 17) to listen to the channel. If you only
receive noise here, the channel is free.
