The BCLO feature prevents the radio's transmitter from being activated if a signal strong
enough to break through the "noise" squelch is present. On a frequency where stations
using different CTCSS or DCS codes may be active, BCLO prevents you from disrupting
their communications accidentally (because your radio may be muted by its own Tone
Decoder). The default setting for the BCLO is OFF, and here is how to change that setting:
1. Press the [ F/W ] key, then press the [ 0 ( SET )] key to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 6:
3. Press the [ 0 ( SET )] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this
Set Mode Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to set this Set Mode Item to "
activating the BCLO feature).
5. When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch to
save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
Remember that BCLO is controlled by the Noise Squelch; if you have DCS or
TSQ engaged, BCLO will inhibit transmission if a station is on frequency but
not transmitting the proper tone; BCLO will thus prevent you from interfer-
ing with the other station's transmission.
