CALLS ON ANALOG CHANNELS
Transmitting a Call on an Analog Channel
1. If not already, select the desired analog channel.
2. Listen for a clear channel. In other words, if another person is using the channel, wait for them to finish
transmitting/speaking. If pre-programmed, a monitor or squelch off shortcut key should be used to verify
the channel is clear. See the following sections for additional information on these functions.
3. Hold down the radio’s PTT key and speak into the microphone at a normal voice level.
4. Release the PTT key to stop transmitting and listen for a reply.
Receiving a Call on an Analog Channel
1. If not already, select the desired analog channel. Do not press the PTT key.
2. When an incoming call is received on the channel, rotate the On/Off Volume Control knob as necessary
to adjust the volume.
If pre-programmed, a monitor or squelch off shortcut key can be used to verify there is no signal on the
channel. Also, the Squelch Off shortcut key can be used in weak signal conditions.
Monitor
Monitor is a function for analog channels that allows any pre-
programmed receiver decoding to be
disabled so calls (or other activity) on the selected channel without the correct code can be monitored.
This does not disable receiver squelch. When the Monitor function is enabled, the icon appears in the top of
the display, and any calls on the channel will be heard in the radio’s speaker.
To enable and disable the Monitor function, press the pre-programmed Monitor shortcut key, or the Monitor
Momentary shortcut key. The Monitor shortcut key provides a toggle on/off type function, whereas the
Monitor Momentary shortcut key temporarily enables the function only when the shortcut key is depressed.
