Monitor Feature
The monitor feature ensures that a channel is clear before transmitting.
The lack of static on a digital channel when you switch from analog to digital radios is not an indication
that the radio is malfunctioning. Digital technology quiets the transmission by removing the noise from
the signal and allows only the clear voice or data information to be heard.
