Transmitting and Receiving
With a channel selected, the radio is actively “listening” for an incoming signal on that
channel. When a signal is detected, the transmission will be heard through the radio’s
speaker. Please note, the Squelch setting (page 33) determines how strong a signal
needs to be in order to be detected.
To transmit, first be sure the channel is clear and then hold the radio a few inches from
your mouth. Hold down the PTT button on the side while talking and release the PTT
when finished.
For best performance and clarity of transmission, position the radio upright with the
front of the radio facing you, hold it several inches away from your mouth and speak
directly into the microphone during transmission.
