Icom IC-208H Basic Operation, Receiving, Monitor function, Push Moni 1BANK to open the squelch

3 BASIC OPERATION

■Receiving

qSet the audio level.

➥Push [MONI•DTMF] to open the squelch.

➥Rotate [VOL] to adjust the audio level.

➥Push [MONI•DTMF] to close the squelch. wSet the squelch level.

➥Rotate [SQL] fully counterclockwise in advance, then ro- tate [SQL] clockwise until the noise just disappears.

•When interference is received, rotate [SQL] clockwise again for attenuator operation. (p. 16)

eSet the operating frequency. (pgs. 11, 12)

rWhen receiving a signal on the set frequency, squelch opens and the transceiver emits audio.

• “BUSY” appears and the S/RF indicator shows the relative signal strength for the re- ceived signal.

✔CONVENIENT!

The audio and squelch level can also be adjusted SQLY/Z with [VOLY(TONE-1)]/[VOLZ0(TONE-2)] and

D/# [SQLY D(MUTE)]/[SQLZ #(16KEY-L)], respectively.

• “VOL” for audio or “SQL” for squelch appears during set.

M/0

■Monitor function

This function is used to listen to weak signals without disturb- ing the squelch setting.

[MONI•DTMF] Blinks

➥Push [MONI•DTMF] to open the squelch.

•“BUSY” blinks.

•Push [MONI•DTMF] again to cancel the function.

➥Push [MONI 1(BANK)] to open the squelch.

MONI • Push [MONI 1(BANK)] again to cancel the function. 1

NOTE: When [SQL] adjustment is set too far clockwise,

(12–17 o’clock position) the squelch attenuator is acti-

vated. To monitor weak signals on the operating frequency,

deactivate the squelch attenuator function. See p. 16 for details.
