Operation Turning on the Power Press and hold [POWER]. Low-Voltage/High-Voltage Alert The UH8080S can operate on 12VDC (13.8V) or 24VDC (27.6V) power supply, with the range between 10.2VDC to 28.8VDC. If the power supply voltage exceeds 28.8VDC, an alert tone sounds and HI DC flashes for 5 seconds. The power source must not exceed 32VDC otherwise permanent damage may occur to your radio, which may not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. NOTE If the input voltage falls below 10.2VDC, LO DC flashes for 5 seconds. The power turns off automatically if voltage falls below 9.0VDC. -

In normal Simplex operation, your radio transmits on one particular frequency and receives on that same frequency. If there is a barrier that partially blocks your transmitted signal, the probability of another radio receiving the signal is very slim. Hills, tall buildings, metallic structures,...etc tend to act as a screen between radios. Standard Operation without the aid of a Repeater station. UNIDEN UH8080S UHF CB Transceiver... -

Page 36: Selective Calling
Therefore Selcall is a group feature used by groups with similarly set up radios. The UH8080S has a Selective Calling system. Exceptional features, like 10 Selcall ID Memories, Receiver Quieting, Tone Squelch Scanning, Tone and Group Calling make the UH8080S superior to other transceivers in its class. Receiver Quieting (Tone Squelch) When activated on individual UHF-CB channels (except for emergency CH05 and CH35), it automatically mutes the receiver audio circuit of the radio. It will stay in this Quiet mode as long as the Selcall tone code (Selcall ID) required to open the muting circuit is not received. -
