Automatic squelch
Your radio set is equipped with an automatic squelch that prevents
that an annoying noise can be heard on free radio channels. However,
under certain conditions - and depending on the distance - computers,
electric or electronic devices might interfere with this squelch, so that
you hear noises.
Due to the supersensitive receiver of the radio set, such interferences
in immediate proximity are normal and unavoidable.
In case of such interferences you should change the distance to the
source of interference and hold the radio set in such a manner that
the antenna could send freely.
Monitor function
You may bypass the automatic squelch so that you can also hear weak
signals.
Push the menu key and the DOWN key at the same time and keep
both keys pressed until the
RX
symbol appears in the display and the
red LED lights up.
Push the menu key to switch on the squelch once again.
Pilot tone process CTCSS
Your radio set is equipped with a pilot tone process that permits to
address specific individual partner stations or groups or to receive only
calls from the latter. 38 different tones are available.
Note:
Make sure that you and your partner use the same channel and
the same pilot tone.
