Squelch; Selecting 16 Or 32 Channels - Midland G10 PRO Instruction Manual

Squelch

The Squelch function suppresses noises on free channels and allows to receive even
weak signals.
G10 PRO has 10 different Squelch levels that can be set by programming software:
0 means that the Squelch is turned off; from level 1 to level 9 you will have different
levels of noise reduction. The higher is the level, the louder will be the Squelch.
By default, the Squelch level of G10 PRO is set on level 4.
Make sure you do not set an excessively high squelch level because in this case you may
not be able to receive weaker signals. On the other hand an excessively low Squelch value
could enable the Squelch even when no signals are present.
Squelch must always be adjusted when no signals are present.
The Time Out timer is settable from 30 sec to 270 sec. only through the program-
ming software.
This feature is disabled by default.

Selecting 16 or 32 channels

G10 PRO can operate not only on 16 PMR446 channels, but keeping pressed the
Function Key2, you can switch to the next 16 PMR446 channels (CH17-32) and
viceversa.
The voice announcement will advise you about the band you are working on.
In case you disabled the voice annoucement through the optional programming
software, the blinking led will help you to realize what band you selected:
• five green flashes indicate that you are operating on the first band (CH1 -
CH16);
• five red flashes indicate that you are operating on the second band (CH17 -
CH32).
CH 1- CH16
• 1 - 8 : standard PMR446 channels
• 9 – 16: PMR446 channels of the new band (446.1 – 446.2 MHz)
CH17 – CH32
• 17 – 24: standard pre-set PMR446 channels
• 25 – 32 : pre-set PMR446 channels of the new band
The first 8 channels of the traditional band 446.0 – 446.1 allow you to communi-
cate with all PMR446 radios on the market.
