RECEIVING TRANSMISSIONS
Follow these steps to receive standard transmissions.
1. With the transceiver on, rotate
SQ
counterclockwise until
you hear a hissing sound. Then slowly rotate
SQ
clockwise
just until the noise stops.
Notes:
•
BUSY
appears when the transceiver receives a standard
transmission or if the squelch is open.
• If the transceiver picks up unwanted and weak transmis-
sions, rotate
SQ
clockwise to prevent the squelch from
opening for these transmissions. If you want to hear
weak transmissions, rotate
SQ
counterclockwise. When
you do this, you might hear hissing between transmis-
sions.
2. Rotate the tuning control to select a frequency.
3. Set
VOL
to a comfortable listening level.
TRANSMITTING
There are two basic types of communication possible with this
transceiver: radio-direct-to-radio (simplex) or radio-to repeater-to
radio (duplex). Simplex operation uses the same frequency to
send and receive. Duplex operation uses one frequency to trans-
mit and another to receive. For more information about duplex,
see “Understanding Repeaters” on Page 22.
Caution:
It is illegal to transmit if you do not have at least a Tech-
nician Class license issued by the FCC.
Follow these steps to transmit.
1. Select the desired frequency using the tuning control or
UP
/
DN
until you are within the transmit frequency range.
