Busy Lockout in the menu which will automatically prevent your radio from
transmitting if the channel is already in use.
BUSY LOCKOUT
When using Silent mode with CTCSS/DCS, your radio’s receiver remains quiet to
all signals outside your CTCSS/ DCS group. As a result, if you do not notice when
others are transmitting on your channel you could accidentally transmit over the
top of them.
The Busy Lockout function detects when others outside your CTCSS/DCS group are
transmitting on the channel and prevents your radio from transmitting over them.
If you press the PTT when the channel is busy the radio will emit a warning beep
and the
icon won’t be displayed. If this happens, look for the
icon on
the display as an indicator that the channel is in use. If the channel is busy, simply
wait until the channel is clear and press the PTT again.
To enable or disable busy lockout
:
1.
Press the
MENU
key.
2.
Navigate through the menu to select
RADIO SETTINGS > BUSY
LOCK
.
Use the
MENU
key to enable or disable this feature.
NOTE
: A ‘Busy Lockout Override with CTCSS Match’ option is available through
the XRS Connect App. When this option is enabled, Busy Lockout will not prevent
you from transmitting over the top of another signal where their CTCSS/DCS code
matches yours (i.e. The signal is from a member of your group).
MONITOR FUNCTION
When the current channel is in Silent mode, you may see the
icon appear but
hear no sound in the speaker. This indicates that your radio is receiving a signal
that does not match your CTCSS/DCS tone.
Press the
key to briefly monitor signals on the channel. The Silent mode will
be temporarily disabled while the
key is pressed allowing you to hear signals
on the channel. When you release the
key, Silent mode is restored and the
radio becomes quiet again.
