Monitor Switch
When listening to a very weak signal from an aircraft or
ground station, you may observe the signal disappearing
periodically as the incoming signal strength becomes too
weak to override the squelch threshold setting.
To disable the squelch temporarily, press and hold the
SQL
switch for 2 seconds. The squelch will remain
open and you should have a better chance of hearing
weak signals.
To return to normal operation, press the
SQL
or the
PTT
switch momentarily.
Accessing the 121.5 MHz Emergency Frequency
The
FTA-750/FTA-550

121.500 MHz emergency frequency. This function can
be activated even when the keypad lock function (de-
scribed on Page 42) is in use.
To access the emergen-
cy frequency, press and
hold the [
121.5
] key.
After four beeps, the
transceiver enters the
emergency mode and
the frequency is au-
tomatically tuned to
