Monitor audible function

The monitor function allows you to open the transceiver’s squelch

manually to check whether a channel is busy or not. The trans-

ceiver has 2 conditions for receive standby.

• Audible condition

This condition mutes audio ONLY when no

carrier is present. You can receive (or moni-

tor) any signals on a channel.

• Push and hold [MONI] to release the CTCSS

or DTCS tone squelch mute.

Any received audio is emitted while pushing

and holding [MONI].

• Inaudible condition

This condition mutes ALL signals except

those directed to you. Therefore you should

check a channel’s condition (busy or not)

with the monitor function before transmitting.

• Push [MONI] to mute the CTCSS or DTCS

tone squelch mute.

vents continuous, extend transmissions. This timer automatically

turns a transmission OFF 3 min. after it starts.

taining the proper

tone are received.
