Transmitting and Receiving
With a channel selected, the radio is actively “listening” for an incoming signal on that
channel. When a signal is detected, the transmission will be heard through the radio’s
speaker. Please note, the Squelch setting (page 44) determines how strong a signal
needs to be in order to be detected.
To transmit, first be sure the channel is clear and then hold the hand microphone a few
inches from your mouth. Hold down the PTT button on the side of the microphone
while talking and release the PTT when finished.
