MENU OPTIONS
* SQUELCH LEVEL
The purpose of the Squelch is to mute the
speaker when no signals are present. With
the squelch correctly set (via software), you
will only hear sound when a signal is
present.
* TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)
The TOT limits the time duration of a user’s
transmission. The purpose of the TOT is to
prevent transmitting for a long period of

And alert will sound when the time limit for
that transmission has been reached.

the channel selector to Ch. 16 directs the
