Page 39: Selective Calling
Therefore Selcall is a group feature used by groups with similarly set up radios. The UH8050S has a Selective Calling system. Exceptional features, like 10 Selcall ID Memories, Receiver Quieting, Tone Squelch Scanning, Tone and Group Calling make the UH8050S 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. -
