Transmitter Notes • When operating in conjunction with UWP-D series transmitters, set the transmitters to the same compander mode. • No audio will be output if the tone signal frequency is different due to inconsistencies in compander mode settings configured on the devices being used together. • When the squelch function (page 7) is set to OFF, audio will be output even when compander mode settings are not consistent. However, phenomena, such as changes in output level, may occur in such cases.
