Busy Channel lock out (only in dealer license version)

The transceiver can be programmed with channel lock-out. When set, this 
function will disable the PTT button from transmitting if there is any activity 
on the same frequency with a different QT/DQT tone. This prevents 
interference in community repeater systems.
Factory programmed on BCLO off

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

EXTERNAL ANTENNA KIT

A main feature on the ZA-725 radio is the detachable antenna. An external 
antenna can be connected to the radio and improve radio clarity and range 
when using the radio in a vehicle or building. Radio signal strength is 
reduced by metal and concrete enclosures. When the antenna is placed 
outside the signal propagation and clarity improves significantly. 
Communication range is approximately doubled when using the car external 
antenna. Also note that, the higher the antenna is placed, the further the 
range.
