Hearing faint and noisy signals
Your radio’s squelch mute (known as ‘squelch’) prevents you from
hearing faint or noisy calls on a channel. On occasions when you
want to hear everything that is being said on a channel, even if it
is hard to understand, you may be able to use the squelch override
function to force the mute open.
Squelch override cannot be activated when a group is selected,
and automatically turns off when you select a group or activate
background scan.
To turn squelch override on or off:
■ Press the assigned function key.
While squelch override is on, the LED slowly flashes green.
Using the radio in different repeater areas
Your radio may have a group of channels programmed as a voting
group. The channels in the voting group all carry the same traffic,
but from different repeaters. As your radio moves in and out of
different repeater coverage areas, the best communication
channel is automatically selected for you to use, until a better
communications channel is selected.
While voting is active, the LED glows orange.
Selecting a voting group
A voting group is selected in the same way as a channel. See
"Selecting a group" on page 36.
