Preferentially Using a Channel Being Used by Other Parties (BCL Override)

BCL Override can be used to transmit on a busy channel even if Busy Channel Lockout is activated and transmission is
restricted. This function is used when a top priority transmission is required.

Busy Channel Lockout is temporarily disabled and the transceiver will start transmitting.
Note
This function is also activated while the transceiver is transmitting using VOX. For a transmission using VOX, Busy Channel Lockout
will temporarily be disabled and the transceiver can transmit if audio is input within 500 ms after the Warning Tone B starts sounding
from the transceiver.

Communicating Without Using a Repeater (Talk Around)

Talk Around is the function that allows transceivers to communicate directly without using a repeater.
If the transceiver cannot link to a repeater due to too great distance between the transceiver and the repeater, the
transceiver can directly communicate with the target transceiver using Talk Around.
The transceiver, with Talk Around enabled, transmits on the receive frequency and uses the Decode Signaling (RAN code)
configured for the selected channel.
Pressing the Talk Around key toggles Talk Around between enabled and disabled.
Or, pressing the Menu key causes the transceiver to enter Menu Mode, and then Talk Around can be toggled between
enabled and disabled by selecting "Talk Around". (Refer to
For NX-410/ NX-411/ NX-900/ NX-901, by using KPG-111D/ DN, Talk Around can be configured for each channel to be
enabled or disabled.
The " " icon appears if a channel with Talk Around enabled is selected. Talk Around cannot be disabled by pressing a
key of the transceiver such as the Talk Around key.
On a channel where Talk Around is configured to be disabled, Talk Around can be toggled between enabled and disabled
by pressing a key of the transceiver such as the Talk Around key.
