While listening to a channel, adjust the SQUELCH knob until
the noise is filtered and you can hear only the transmission.
If you switch to a channel with a lot of noise or a weak trans-
mission, you may need to readjust the squelch level again.
note: setting the squelch level too high may prevent you
from hearing weaker transmissions. if you are having
difficulty hearing a transmission, try setting the squelch
level lower.
Changing the Channel
Press the Channel Up and Channel Down buttons briefly to
scroll through the channels one channel at a time. Press and
hold the Channel Up or Channel Down button to quickly
scroll through the channels.
Making a transmission
Select the channel you want to transmit on, then press and
hold the Push to Talk button. Release the Push to Talk
button when you’re finished talking to let the other party
respond.
To prevent stuck microphone problems or situations where
the
Push to Talk
button is pushed accidentally, the radio
limits your talk time to 5 minutes in a single transmission.
For the best sound quality, hold the microphone about two
inches away from your mouth.
See the channel lists starting on page E-23 for a list of
receive-only channels.
Boosting the transmission power
In most situations, the 1 Watt transmission power is all you
need. If you find yourself far away from other stations and
have trouble getting a response, you may need to boost the
transmission power from 1 Watt to 2.5 Watts or 5 Watts:
Select the channel you want to transmit on.
