3.5 Setting Squelch Control
This radio does not have a squelch control. The squelch level is preset and usually does
not require readjustment. However, if the squelch threshold needs to be changed on a
conventional analog channel, it can be changed using keypad programming if available
(see Section 5.17 on page 36).
Note The Keypad programming feature is available to Federal Government users only.
3.6 Transmit Disable
Transmitting can be disabled on each conventional, SMARTNET, SmartZone, and P25
Trunked channel so that the channel is monitor-only. When transmitting is attempted on a
receive-only channel, “RX ONLY” is displayed and an error tone sounds.
3.7 Radio Operating Modes
Each selectable channel can be programmed for the conventional (analog or Project 25
digital), SMARTNET/SmartZone, or Project 25 digital trunked operating mode. For
example, Zone 1/Channel 1 could be a conventional channel, Zone 1/Channel 2 a
SMARTNET channel, and so on. More information on these modes follows.
Note All operating modes utilize certain functions that are activated/deactivated by pressing
and holding a particular button or switch. The “hold” interval is preset. When instructed
