Monitor Switch
When listening to a very weak signal from an aircraft or
ground station, you may observe the signal disappearing
periodically as the incoming signal strength becomes too
weak to override the squelch threshold setting.
To disable the squelch temporarily, press and hold the
MONITOR
switch for 2
seconds on the left side of
the radio, just below the
PTT
switch. The squelch
will remain open and you
should have a better chance
of hearing weak signals.
To return to normal operation, press the
MONITOR
switch momentarily.
