6 Operating Instruction
52 FAV_D10024 December 2014
6.3 Receive (Listen) Operation
After turning ON the radio the automatic squelch is always ON.
If the operating mode shall be changed: Push once or twice the MD button.
If the active frequency shall be changed: refer to 6.2 Turning ON - Selecting
Frequency/ Channel Name - Volume
DO NOT press the PTT (Push-To-Talk) key if you want to receive! Transmit Indicator
at the display must not appear!
Normal signals are received; weak signals and interfering pulses are disabled. Set the
volume of the a/c loudspeaker or headphone to a comfortable level by rotating
ON/OFF-VOL knob (in 15 steps).
Weak signals can be received if the squelch circuit is switched OFF by pushing the
SQ button. Then typical RX noise is heard during communication breaks.
Pushing the SQ button again switches the squelch circuit ON again.
IMPORTANT!
Switching OFF the squelch only makes sense if long range
reception shall take place. Thus, the radio is noisy during Standby
operation, but no weak signals are suppressed and the full
receiving range is available!
Notice increased current consumption!
