Set the
SQL
control fully counterclockwise, rotate the
VOL
control out of the click-stop and adjust it for a
comfortable volume on the noise or a received signal.
The
BUSY/TX
indicator LED should glow green. If a
signal is present, rotate the
DIAL
selector on the top
panel to a channel where only noise is heard.
Adjust the
SQL
control just to the point where the noise is silenced and the Green LED is
extinguished. If the
SQL
control is set further clockwise, sensitivity to weak signals will be
reduced. Now, whenever a signal reaches the receiver that is strong enough to open the
squelch, the indicator will glow green.

RANSMITTING
When you wish to transmit, wait until the channel is clear (
BUSY/TX
lamp off), and squeeze
the
PTT
switch. During transmission the
BUSY/TX
indicator glows red, and relative trans-
mitter power output is indicated graphically along the bottom of the display. Release the
PTT
switch to receive.
If using a version “B” (in Europe), press the
T-CALL
switch (just below the
PTT
switch)
to transmit a 1750 Hz tone to access repeat-
ers that require it.
