■
Press and hold the function key programmed for
monitor to override the radio’s squelch.
The message
Squelch override activated
appears in the display.
While squelch override is on, the LED flashes
green, and the squelch override icon appears in

long key press.
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.
This channel is known as the ‘home’ channel, and will
be the channel you make and receive calls on. While
voting is active, the scanning icon
appears in the
display.
The section
"Selecting a group" on page 80
explains
how to select a group. A group can be either a voting
or a scanning group.
