Operating in conventional mode 103
Squelch is often programmed as a long
keypress of the same function key that turns
monitor on and off.
2 Scroll to On (or Off) and press Select.
This allows you to hear even faint and noisy
signals. While squelch override is on, the LED
flashes green, and the squelch override icon
appears on the display.
Press the monitor function key again to return
the radio to a quiet state.
Squelch cannot be overridden when the radio is
scanning.
Bypassing the repeater
(on analog channels)
For analog channels, you can bypass the radio
repeater and communicate directly with another radio.
This feature is known as repeater talkaround. You can
do this, for example, when you are out of range of the
repeater, or if the repeater is busy or stops working.
While repeater talkaround is active, all transmissions
are made on the receive frequency of the channel you
are on.
To activate repeater talkaround, you may be able to
either use a programmed function key, or use the
Main menu.
Using the Main menu
1 Select the required channel.
2 Press Menu and select Radio settings >
Functions > Talkaround.
3 In the Talkaround menu, choose On.
4 Press Select. The message Talkaround
activated appears briefly, and the repeater
talkaround icon appears on the display.
