Using Monitor and Squelch Override (on Analog Channels)
The monitor function allows users to override some or all of the radio’s mutes, and hear if there is any traffic on a chan-
nel before they make a call.
The squelch override function lets the radio user override the squelch (carrier) mute and hear all noise on a channel,
including weak signals that are below the programmed squelch threshold.
