1   Operating Instructions 
1.1   Front Panel Controls and Indicators  
1.1.1   Mon. Volume 
The Mon. Volume control is used to adjust the volume of the internal loudspeaker 
and any external speaker connected to the test socket. It does not effect the level of 
the 600Ω line or direct audio output. 
1.1.2   Mon. SQ. 
The Mon. SQ. switch allows all squelch functions controlling the monitor output to 
be disabled. When the switch is in the Mon. SQ. position the audio at the monitor 
speaker is controlled by the noise detector. The CTCSS, carrier and external squelch 
functions are disabled. This can be useful when you are trying to trace the source of 
on-channel interference or when setting the noise squelch threshold. The audio from 
the 600Ω line and direct outputs is not effected by the switch position. 
1.1.3   N.SQ 
The N.SQ trimpot is used to set the noise squelch sensitivity. Use the following 
procedure to set the noise squelch to maximum sensitivity. 
1.  Set the toggle switch to the Mon. Sq. position and set the Mon. Volume control 
to 9 o’clock.
