RECEIVING
When there are no incoming signals, the TX6600PRO will remain in standby mode
with the receiver muted. If the battery save function has been enabled it will also
sleep for short periods of time to conserve battery power.
When a signal is received, the squelch will open and the signal will be heard in the
speaker. During this time, adjust the volume control for a comfortable listening
level. If no further signals are received, the squelch will close and the unit will
return to standby mode.
Busy indicator
Whenever the channel is busy the
icon will appear on the display and the
status LED on the top of the radio will light Green.
NOTE:
If your radio has Silent or Quiet mode enabled, the
icon may appear
but you might not hear any sound from the speaker. This indicates that others
are sharing the channel, but their calls are not meant for you. For this reason you
should check whether the channel is busy BEFORE transmitting to ensure you do
not accidentally talk over someone else.
Alternatively, you can enable
Busy Lockout
in your radio’s Menu which will
automatically inhibit the
PTT
key whenever the channel is busy. Please refer to
the section on
Busy Lockout
.
SIGNAL STRENGTH METER
The TX6600PRO has a digital signal strength meter that is, by default, displayed
in logarithmic format at the bottom of the LCD as numbers from 0 to 9+ (with 9+
being the strongest).
The signal meter display can be changed via the
DISPLAY
setting in the main
menu to show the signal strength in linear format (with 0 being a weak signal and
60 being a strong signal).
