RADIO CALLS
REPEATER OR TALKAROUND MODE
Talkaround Mode enables you to communicate with another radio when either:
•The repeater is not operating
•Your radio is out of the repeater’s range but within communicating distance of another radio. An audible indicator is heard when changing between modes.
To select either Repeater Mode or Talkaround Mode:
Press the preprogrammed Repeater/ Talkaround button (see page 13) to toggle between Repeater Mode and Talkaround Mode.
SETTING THE POWER LEVEL
Each channel in your radio has a predefined transmit power level that can be changed.
•High power
•Low power
To set the power level, press the preprogrammed Power Level button (see page 13) to toggle between low and high. A dot appears on the display indicating high power.
SETTING TIGHT OR NORMAL SQUELCH
Use this feature to filter out nuisance (unwanted) calls and/or background noise. However, tightening squelch could cause calls from remote locations to be filtered out as well. In this case, normal squelch may be more desirable.
Press the preprogrammed Squelch button (see page 13) to toggle between tight and normal squelch.
