CONVENTIONAL FEATURES

(approximately 1 second). This function may be useful, for example, during weak signal conditions if intermittent squelching makes a message difficult to understand.

Busy Channel Lockout

The Busy Channel Lockout feature (also called Transmit Disable On Busy) automatically disables the transmitter if the channel is busy when the PTT switch is pressed. When a busy condition is detected by this feature, the transmitter is disabled, “BUSY” is indicated in the lower part of the display, and a tone similar to a standard telephone busy tone sounds until the PTT switch is released. This feature is programmed to operate in one of the following modes on each channel:

Off - The transmitter keys even if the channel is busy.

Noise - The transmitter is disabled if any signal is detected on the channel.

Tone - The transmitter is disabled if the detected squelch coding is not correct.

If busy override is permitted by programming, it is possible to transmit even when the transmitter is disabled by this feature. Simply release the PTT switch and then quickly press it again.

Call Guard Squelch

General

Call Guard® squelch (also called CTCSS/DCS signaling) may be programmed on conventional channels. This feature eliminates distracting messages intended for others using the channel by using a subaudible tone or digital code to control the squelch. This tone or code is unique to a user or talk group on that channel. It is transmitted by the mobile placing a call, and if Call Guard squelch is programmed in the mobile receiving the call, it must detect the correct tone or code to receive the call.
