q
Set the audio level for the main band.
➥
Push the desired band’s [MAIN•BAND].
➥
Push [DUP•MONI] for 1 sec. to open the squelch.
➥
Rotate the main band’s [VOL] to adjust the audio level.
➥
Push the [DUP•MONI] for 1 sec. to close the squelch.
w
Set the squelch level.
➥
Rotate the main band’s [SQL] fully counterclockwise in
advance, then rotate the [SQL] clockwise until the noise
just disappears.
• When interference is received, rotate the [SQL] clockwise
again for attenuator operation. (p. 17)
e
Set the operating frequency in the main band. (pgs. 11–13)
r
When receiving a signal on the set frequency, squelch
opens and the transceiver emits audio.
• “BUSY” appears and the S/RF
indicator shows the relative
signal strength for the re-
ceived signal.

CONVENIENT!
The main band’s audio and squelch level can also
be adjusted with [
VOL
Y
(TONE-1)]/[
VOL
Z
0(TONE-2)]
and [
SQL
Y
D(MUTE)]/[
SQL
Z
#(16KEY-L)], respectively.
• “VOL” for audio or “SqL” for squelch appears during set.

Monitor function
This function is used to listen to weak signals without disturb-
ing the squelch setting.
➥
Push [DUP•MONI] for 1 sec. to open the squelch.
• Push [MIN•BAND] to select the desired band (left or right) as the
main band in advance.
• “BUSY” blinks.
• Push [DUP•MONI] for 1 sec. again to cancel the function.
➥
Push [
MONI
1(BANK)] to open the squelch.
• Push [BAND] to select the desired band (left or right)
as the main band in advance.
• Push [
MONI
1(BANK)] again to cancel the function.
NOTE:
When the [SQL] adjustment is set too far clock-
wise, (12–5 o’clock position) the squelch attenuator is acti-
vated. To monitor weak signals on the operating frequency,
deactivate the squelch attenuator function. See pg. 17 for
details.
