Equipment functions
Channel selection
To provide maximum flexibility and reduce interference from others, your transceiver is fitted
with twenty two different radio channels..
To change the radio channel, press [F] once and ‘CH’ appears in the large display along with the
last channel that was selected flashing. Use [ ] and [ ] to select the desired channel and press
[M] to confirm your selection.
CTCSS (Coded Tone Controlled Squelch System)
CTCSS Mode (Sub-Channel) Selection
The CTCSS ( Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) provides 38 individual Sub-Channel Frequencies
to allow you to utilize the coded squelch tones (1-38). In order to communicate with another party on the
same main channel, the same Sub-Channel must be used. This allows you to
only
hear others on your
channel if they are using your same Sub-Channel tone. This tone operates continuously in the background
while you are transmitting voice but cannot be heard on the other person’s transceiver speaker because of
its low frequency. Your transceiver acts like a filter and only allows reception of signals with the same
Sub-Channel. Since there are 38 Sub-Channels for each main channel, 38 different Sub-Channels may be
selected for each of the 14 main channels. To be sure others with different tones are not using your main
channel before you transmit, a common code of courtesy dictates that you press the Monitor button
momentarily to see if the channel is clear. This is being courteous since all others on
your
main channel
using different Sub-Channels would not be recognized and heard by your transceiver. Therefore you
would likely jam others who could still be communicating on your shared main channel.
To change the Sub-Channel:
-Press the[ F] (function) button and the channel number will begin flashing.
- Press the Power button [ o ] once and the 00 to the right of the main channel number begins flashing.
- Then press the Up or Down button to select the desired Sub-Channel for use.
- Press the [M] button momentarily to confirm selection.
The CTCSS Sub-Channel mode can be turned off by accessing the flashing Sub-Channel number icon
and using the Up or Down button to select 00 as the Sub-Channel, and then press [M] again.
NOTE : To communicate with other FRS/GMRS units, they must be switched to the same main channel
(1-14)FRS or (1-22) GMRS and Sub-Channel code (1-38). To communicate with other transceiver units
that do not have Sub-Channels, switch your unit to their same main channel with the Sub-Channels set to
00. The Sub-Channels do not prevent others from hearing your transmission. This Sub-Channel
technology will only allow you to not hear all the traffic on your channel not using the same Sub-Channel
tone.
NOTE: CTCSS does not increase the number of radio channels. Do not transmit when the
channel is in use, even with a different CTCSS tone.
