repeater and connect directly to another radio. The transmit and
receive frequencies are the same.

Monitoring Features
Radio users who switch from analog to digital radios often
assume that the lack of static on a digital channel is an
indication that the radio is not working properly. This is not the
case.
This digital technology quiets the transmission by removing the
“noise” from the signal and allows only the clear voice or data
information to be heard.
Use the Monitor feature to make sure a channel is clear before
transmitting.
