Signal Strength Meter

Your microTALK® radio is equipped with a signal strength meter that shows the strength of your incoming or outgoing transmissions. The ascending bars next to the signal strength indicate the strength of the signal. The greater the number of bars visible, the stronger the signal. The fewer number of bars visible, the weaker the signal.

Dense foliage and hilly terrain will further reduce the signal.

Remember, you can achieve maximum range by using Maximum Range Extender. See page 6 for details.
