■ Break-in communication
The break-in function allows you to break into a conversation,
where the two original stations are communicating with call
sign squelch enabled.
qWhile receiving an another station’s communication, push
and hold [RX➝CS](CALL) for 1 sec. to set the communi-
cating station’s call sign.
• When a call sign has not been received correctly, error beeps
sound and no call sign is set. Receive the call sign of a commu-
nicating signal again, or set the call sign manually.
wPush and hold [BK](9) for 1 sec. to turn the break-in func-
tion ON.
•“BK” appears.
eWhen both stations are in standby, push [PTT] to transmit
a break-in call.
• The programmed call sign station receives the break-in call as
well as your call sign.
rWait for the reply call from the station who receives the
break-in call.
tAfter receiving the reply call, communicate normally.
yTo cancel the break-in, push and hold [BK](9) for 1 sec. to
turn OFF.
• How to use the break-in?
While operating with the call sign squelch (p. 110), the
squelch never opens
(no audio sounds) even if a call is re-
ceived, unless your own call sign
(“MY”) is specified.
However, when the call including the “BK ON” signal
(break-
in call) is received, the squelch will open and audio sounds
even if the call is specified for another station.
