Press and hold the
Squelch Off Momentary
key.
The “

” icon appears.
For the channel where
NAC Decode
is configured, the transceiver unmutes the speaker just by disabling the NAC
and detecting a frame.
The Busy LED lights green if Busy LED is enabled.

If
Squelch Off
becomes enabled during the scan, the transceiver pauses scanning on a channel where the transceiver
is scanning. The transceiver does not resume scanning until
Squelch Off
is disabled.
0
If
Squelch Off
is enabled on a channel with “Mixed” configured in
Channel Type
, the transceiver forcibly unmutes the
speaker. White noise is audible if no carrier is present. In this case, the QT tone, DQT code, or NAC is disabled. If the
transceiver receives an analog signal, the transceiver unmutes the speaker only with a carrier. The transceiver unmutes
the speaker when the transceiver receives a digital signal even if the received NAC does not match the NAC preconfigured
for the transceiver.
Configuration using KPG-D1/ D1N
Assigning functions to the
PF
keys on the transceiver (
Transceiver Settings > Key Assignment)
Temporarily Disabling the Signaling (Monitor)
Monitor
is the function that temporarily disables the NAC configured for a channel on which the transceiver waits.
Monitor is used to check the availability of channels prior to transmitting in order to avoid interfering with other parties.
Using the Monitor function temporarily unmutes the speaker if the speaker is muted because the NAC does not match.
However, if the speaker is muted due to a very weak carrier, the speaker is not unmuted even by using the Monitor function.
In this case, using the Squelch Off function temporarily unmutes the speaker and the audio can be heard.
To use this function, the
Monitor
key or the
Monitor Momentary
key is used.
Or, pressing the
Menu
key causes the transceiver to enter Menu Mode, and then
Monitor
can be toggled between enabled
and disabled by selecting “Monitor”. (Refer to Common FUNC
.)
While
Monitor
is enabled, the “
Z
” icon appears, and the NAC will be disabled.
On a channel with “Mixed” configured in
Channel Type
, while
Monitor
is enabled, the “
Z
” icon appears, and the NAC, QT
tone or DQT code, and Analog or P25 Optional Signaling are disabled.
