Rotate [SQL] fully counterclockwise in advance, then ro-
tate [SQL] clockwise until the noise just disappears.
• When interference is received, rotate [SQL] clockwise again
for attenuator operation. (p. 16)
e
Set the operating frequency. (pgs. 11, 12)
r
When receiving a signal on the set frequency, squelch
opens and the transceiver emits audio.
• “BUSY” appears and the S/RF
indicator shows the relative
signal strength for the re-
ceived signal.

The audio and squelch level can also be adjusted
with [
VOL
Y
(TONE-1)]/[
VOL
Z
0(TONE-2)] and

Monitor function
This function is used to listen to weak signals without disturb-
ing the squelch setting.
➥
Push [MONI•DTMF] to open the squelch.
• “BUSY” blinks.
• Push [MONI•DTMF] again to cancel the function.
➥
Push [
