2-12.3.4.13 Sounding
Sounding is used to test the quality of the channels and propagation paths of all channels in the net.
The sounding signal is normally repeated automatically, at regular intervals. A complete round of
sounding messages, or "sounding cycle" can be programmed to 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes, or can be
set to OFF.
Sounding can also be initiated manually whenever necessary, even if automatic sounding is enabled.
To manually initiate sounding:
1. Press LQA to enter the LQA menu.
2. Press SOND.
3. Press ON to start manual sounding, or OFF to stop an ongoing sounding process.
NOTES
• The radio automatically returns to ALE mode when sounding is
stopped.
• When the radio transmits a sounding signal, the Tx bar is visible.
2-12.3.5 Using the Inlink Function
When the inlink function is enabled, the stations participating in a call are automatically notified by a
DISC message whenever another participant leaves (disconnects from) the call.
