BUSY LOCKOUT
The Busy Lockout function detects when another signal is being transmitted on
the channel and prevents your radio from accidentally transmitting over the other
signal. When enabled, Busy lockout will be active if you are using Silent mode with
CTCSS/DCS (the or icon is displayed) or Quiet mode with Selcall (the
icon is displayed) as your radio can remain quiet even when the channel is busy in
these modes.
When Busy Lockout is active, if the channel is busy and you press the PTT key the
radio will emit a warning beep and the icon won’t be displayed.
If you get a Busy Lockout alarm when you press the PTT key, release the PTT key
and look for the icon on the display as an indicator that the channel is in use.
If so, simply wait until the channel is clear and press the PTT key again.
