MONITOR AUDIBLE FUNCTION
The monitor function allows you to open the transceiver’s squelch
manually to check whether a channel is busy or not. The trans-
ceiver has 2 conditions for receive standby:
All signals are received.
Audible condition:
This condition mutes audio ONLY when
no carrier is present. You can receive (or
monitor) any signals on a channel.
• Push and hold the [Moni (Audi)], switch
to select the audible condition.
Any audio mute functions are cancelled
while pushing the [Moni (Audi)] switch.
Only signals containing the
proper tone are received.
Inaudible condition:
This condition mutes ALL signals ex-
cept those directed to you. Therefore
you should check a channel’s condition
(busy or not) with the monitor function
before transmitting.
• Push the [Moni (Audi)], switch momen-
tarily to select the inaudible condition.
