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
