PROLYNX PL-510 - Busy Channel Lock-Out (BCLO); Squelch Tail Elimination (STE); Offset Frequency and Direction (SHIFTF, SHIFT); Channel Name Editing (CHNAME)

When it is activated, the radio decreases the amount of power used
after no signal is present and no operations are being performed for 5
seconds. When a signal is received or an operation is performed, this
feature turns off temporarily.
16 - Busy Channel Lock-out (BCLO)
It prevents the radio’s transmitter from being activated if a signal
strong enough to break through the ‘noise’ squelch is present. It
prevents users from disrupting others’ talking who are transmitting on
the same channel frequency.
17 – Squelch Tail Elimination (STE)
A burst of noise (squelch tail) heard after a transmission ends. When
STE is activated, the radio will send a sub-audible tone to be
transmitted at the end of a transmission which cause the receiving
radio to mute its speaker before loss of a carrier is detected. Muting
the speaker eliminates unwanted noise during loss of carrier detection.
18/19 – Offset Frequency and Direction (SHIFTF,
SHIFT)
These two items are used to determine the difference between TX and
RX frequency.
The offset frequency range is 00.000-80.000MHz.
Note: this function can only be enabled in VFO mode.
