Operating in conventional mode 99
Using monitor and squelch
override (on analog channels)
The monitor function allows you to override some or
all of the radio’s mutes, and hear if there is any traffic
on a channel before you make a call.
The squelch override function lets the radio user
override the squelch (carrier) mute and hear all noise
on a channel, including weak signals that are below
the programmed squelch threshold.
To turn monitor on and off:
1 Press Menu and select Radio settings >
Functions > Monitor.
(Depending on how your radio is programmed, you
may be able to press a function key to toggle
monitor on and off.)
2 Scroll to On (or Off) and press Select.
While monitor is on, the LED slowly flashes green
and the monitor icon appears in the display.
Your radio may be programmed so that monitor
turns off automatically after a short time.
To turn squelch on and off:
1 Press Menu and select Radio settings >
Functions > Squelch o’ride.
Squelch is often programmed as a long
keypress of the same function key that turns
monitor on and off.
2 Scroll to On (or Off) and press Select.
This allows you to hear even faint and noisy
signals. While squelch override is on, the LED
flashes green, and the squelch override icon
appears on the display.
Press the monitor function key again to return
the radio to a quiet state.
