(CONVENTIONAL OPERATION ONLY)
Use this feature to filter out nuisance
(unwanted) calls and/or background noise.

from remote locations to be filtered out as well.
In this case, normal squelch may be more
desired.
To select Tight or Normal Squelch:
Press the preprogrammed Squelch button
(see page 20) to toggle between tight and

SETTING THE POWER LEVEL B
Each channel in your radio has a predefined
transmit power level that can be changed.
•
High power (S) allows you to reach a radio
that is farther away.
•
Low power (R) conserves the battery's
charge.
•
Auto power (Conventional operation only)
automatically sets the optimal power level
based on the strength of the signal
received. If the received signal is weak, the
transmit level will be set to high, and vice
versa.
