(
BCLO
)
The BCLO feature prevents the radio’s transmitter from being activated if a signal strong
enough to break through the “noise” squelch is present. On a frequency where stations using
different CTCSS or DCS codes may be active, BCLO prevents you from disrupting their
communications accidentally (because your radio may be muted by its own Tone Decoder).
The default setting for the BCLO is OFF. This is the procedure to activate the BCLO:
1.
Press and hold in the [
TXPO
] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
