      If you cannot hear speaker audio when the [SQL] key is pressed and held, there are a couple of potential causes. First, the battery may be low, in which case you should charge it. Second, the audio volume level might be too low. Try turning the VOL knob clockwise to increase the volume.

      If some keys on your Standard Horizon Transceiver are not working, it might be because the Key Lock function is enabled. To resolve this, turn the Key Lock off. You can find instructions on how to do this in section 5.1 of this manual (refer to the [H/L( )] key).

    How to start the scan on Standard Horizon Transceiver if the [SCAN(DW)] key does not work?
    • A
      Aaron DayAug 14, 2025
      If the [SCAN(DW)] key isn't starting the scan on your Standard Horizon Transceiver, it could be due to a couple of reasons. First, there may be no channels memorized. Use the [MEM] key to enter desired channels into the transceiver’s memory. Second, the squelch may not be adjusted correctly. Adjust the squelch to the threshold or to the point where noise just disappears, as further adjustment may eliminate incoming signals.
