Use the UP/DOWN arrows to make your selection. The field is used to
specify the squelch mode of the radio during a momentary press of the
monitor button or in Permanent Monitor mode. The two options are:
Open Squelch The radio will be continuously unmuted
PL Defeat The radio will be in Carrier Squelch during Monitor.
Note: The definitions above do not apply to Monitor during Scan
mode. Monitor operation during Scan is controlled by the PL Defeat
field on the SCAN CONFIGURATION screen (F4/F3/F8/F2).
The default is Open Squelch.
The External Mandown Switch is used with HT 1000 radios only. Use the
UP/DOWN arrows to enable/disable this feature. When this feature is
enabled, the radio will send an alarm (including the radio ID)
whenever the radio is angled more than 60 degrees from its usual
vertical position.
Note: This operation is only possible when the radio is equipped with
an External Mandown Switch accessory. Emergency must be enabled
for this feature to work.
The default is Enabled.
Note that there is no functional programmability associated with the side
buttons in HT 1000 "A" models. Side Button 1 is the Select button, used
for Nuisance Delete and Scan Programming. Side Button 2 is used only
for the MDC Repeater Access (RAT) function. Side Button 3 is always
the Monitor button.
Note: If an Advantage™ Board is installed in the radio and Side
Button 2 is functionally used by the Advantage Board, that button
must be set to "Blank" to prevent dual usage.
