5 more functions are available. Turn off the unit. Turn on the radio

1) ROGER BEEP
(
s
key on the unit or UP knob on microphone)
The ROGER BEEP sounds when the
PTT
switch (
11
) of the microphone
is released in order to let your correspondent speak. Historically as
CB is a “simplex” communication mode, it is not possible to speak
and listen at the same time (as it is the case with a telephone).
Once the conversation was over, he said “Roger” in order to
prevent his correspondent that it was his turn to talk. The word
“Roger” has been replaced by a significant beep. That is where
the name “Roger beep” comes from.

appears on the display.
Note:
The Roger beep also sounds in the loudspeaker if the
