Receiver Quieting
Puts the receiver in the "Ouiet" mode (also known as the "Tone Squelch" mode). When activated, the transceiver prevents any unwanted conversations
in the channel from being heard unless the call is specifically directed to you and the SELCALL ID required to open the "Ouiet" condition has been received.
To activate:
1.Select the channel you want to put in Quiet mode using the Channel Selector knob.
2.Press the T.SO button for about 1.5 seconds. One beep is heard and the T.Sa indicator appears on the LCD display. Under this condition, the PRESS- TO- TALK button is temporarily disabled. If you wish to use the same channel for normal communication simply remove the channel from Quiet mode.
Note: Channels that are stored in either OS or GS (MEM), when put in the Quiet condition, will be skipped during OS/GS Memory Scanning
If GS Scanning is used and the starting channel is a T.SO Channel, the PRI Channel will not be set. Rotate the channel knob to set a new PRI channel.
To deactivate the Quiet Condition:
1.Manually select the Tone Squelched Channel.
2.Press the T.Sa button for about 1.5 seconds. Two beeps are heard and the T.SO indicator disappears from the LCD display.
