USING THE MONITOR FUNCTION
1. Press and hold the
“MON”
button on the side of the radio to open the squelch.
This allows you to override the squelch and the “CTCSS” tones. This is useful to monitor
the channel before you transmit to ensure there is not someone using the channel when
you have “CTCSS” tones programmed. This is also useful if you suspect someone in your
group does not have the proper “CTCSS” tones programmed.
Release the
“MON”
button to restore the squelch to normal.
