Operation
The manual provides detailed instructions on the operation and basic usage steps for the TK-360G and TK-370G models. The transceivers have several operational features:
1. Channel Selector and Power Switch/Volume Control: Users can rotate the channel selector to choose a channel (1 to 8). The power switch/volume control is used to turn the transceiver on by rotating it clockwise and to adjust the volume. Turning it fully counterclockwise switches off the transceiver.
2. LED Indicator: The LED lights red during transmission, green while receiving, and flashes orange when receiving a 2-Tone or DTMF signal that matches the transceiver’s settings. It flashes red when the battery is low during transmission.
3. PTT (Push-to-Talk) Switch: Users press this switch to speak into the microphone and call a station.
4. Side Keys: The Side 1 and Side 2 keys are programmable and can be assigned auxiliary functions such as Monitor A, Monitor B, Monitor C, Monitor D, RF Power Lo, or none.
5. Programmable Auxiliary Functions: These include various monitor modes and RF power toggling. The RF Power Lo function allows toggling the output power of a channel between high and low, but only for channels programmed with high power.
6. Rotary Encoder (TK-370G): This can be programmed for group or channel selection and squelch adjustment.
7. Speaker/Microphone Jacks: Optional accessories like a speaker microphone can be connected here.
These features allow for flexible operation tailored to user needs, with programmable keys enhancing functionality.
