Operating in conventional mode 79
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.
Your radio may be programmed to activate
monitor whenever the microphone is off the
microphone clip.
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 green LED flashes slowly
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 green
LED flashes continually, and the squelch override
icon appears on the display.
