Automatic Warnings in Front of Motorway Roadworks
Truckers in Germany use channel
9 in AM
. In some provinces we can already find warning markers in front of
roadworks, which warn truck drivers
via CB radio
with
announcements and warning signals
if they are
approaching the construction site too fast. They announce “
Caution danger spot
”.
This service is also offered in other languages on the typical channels of foreign truck drivers and has helped to
reduce accidents with trucks in construction sites. In most cases theses warnings are only announced when driving
in the truck lane.
Channel Scan (Scan) and Memory Scan MScan (8)
Both scan functions allow band search, starting with the last frequency or channel. To scan not all but only your
memory channels use
FUNC + MScan
. After finding a signal the channel is monitored for max. 8 seconds, unless
the signal disappears earlier. In this case the scan starts again until the next signal is detected.
Start and Stop Scan
Press the
SCAN button (8)
to start scanning. You can stop it by:
Pressing the PTT button or pressing the
SCAN
button again.
Important: the scan uses the squelch setting as switching criteria. First set the squelch to a value for the scanner to
stop for a busy channel. Scanning is not possible with open squelch: the CPU recognizes this condition like a busy
channel and switches every 8 seconds to the next channel.
Reverse Scan Direction
You can change the scan direction at any time during the scan. Simply turn the channel selector briefly into the
desired direction or use the
UP/DOWN
buttons on the microphone.
Dual Watch Monitoring
To regularly monitor two different channels use Dual Watch
DW
.
•
Select the first channel, e.g. channel 26.
•
Press
FUNC
and then
DW
, the display shows
DW
.
•
Now select the
other channel
, e.g. channel 18.
•
Your device will now constantly switch from channel 18 to 26, check there briefly for conversation and
switch back to 18. If channel 26 is busy your device stays in receiving mode and only afterwards switches
back to 18.
Turn Off Dual Watch
Briefly press the PTT button once or press the DW button once.
Noise Blanker NB Button (1)
A noise blanker is a circuit to blank out or limit short-term pulsating noise. Since the CB band is heavily overlaid
with noise from electric machinery and vehicles your device comes with such circuit, which can be switched on in
AM and SSB modes.
The noise blanker is activated/deactivated by pressing
FUNC
+
NB
(button 1).
Infrequently Used Functions (Menu Functions)
You access the following functions by pressing and holding the
SCAN
button and then briefly pressing the SCAN
button again to skip 1 step ahead.
