1 Press the function key programmed for low-power
transmit to transmit at low power on your current
channel.

Using monitor and squelch
override (on analog channels)
The monitor function allows you to override some or
all of the radio's mutes, and hear if there is any traffic
on a channel before you make a call.
The squelch override function lets the radio user
override the squelch (carrier) mute and hear all noise
on a channel, including weak signals that are below
the programmed squelch threshold.
Status messages can also be used to control
external devices.
Your radio may be programmed to activate
monitor whenever the microphone is off the
microphone clip.
