3.5.27 ATIS Operation (RAY230E only)
The RAY230E comes equipped with Automatic Transmission Identification
System (ATIS) capability for inland waterway requirements in Europe.
With ATIS enabled, each time the PTT switch is pressed your station ID is
sent at the end of the transmission. Before utilizing this feature, you must
obtain an ID number, program it into the RAY230E’s system Menu, and
activate the ATIS feature. Once activated, ATIS can be enabled or disabled
in the system Menu so that the RAY230E can be used in open water or
inland waterways.
