microphone. Press the switch and the transmitter is activated, release switch
to receive. When transmitting, hold the microphone two inches from the
mouth and speak clearly in a normal “voice”. The radios come complete with
low-impedance (500 ohm) dynamic microphone. For installation instruction
on other microphones, see next section, “ALTERNATE MICROPHONES
AND INSTALLATION”.
OPERATING PROCEDURE TO RECEIVE
1. Be sure that power source, microphone and antenna are connected to the
proper connectors before going to the next step.
2. Turn unit on by tuning VOL control clockwise on your transceiver.

control slowly clockwise until the noise JUST disappears (no signal
should be present). Leave the control at this setting. The SQUELCH is

actually received. Do not advance the control too far, or some of the
weaker signals will not be heard.
