Loudspeaker and Volume Control
A 1 Watt loudspeaker is provided to monitor 'on air' received audio as well as
transmit audio from line. Volume control is provided by means of a volume
pot or a 3-position toggle switch adjacent to the loudspeaker. This switch is
biased in the centre position. To raise or lower the volume the switch is
momentarily moved up or down respectively. For each switch closure the
volume is incremented or decremented a fixed amount.
The speaker has a link selectable connection to a tone output from the micro
controller. This may be used in conjunction with the appropriate software
configuration to generate an alert tone to the user.
Microphone Socket

wired compatibly with the Motorola GM300 microphone.
Mute / Squelch Adjustment
Provision is made to optionally locate the squelch control potentiometer
behind the front panel. A screwdriver hole is provided in the front panel to
