Common Radio Features

PL Defeat

The PL defeat feature allows you to override any coded squelch (DPL, PL, or network ID) that may be programmed to a channel. To activate this feature, place the PL Defeat Switch (if programmed, see page 2) in the PL defeat position. You will then be able to hear any activity on the channel; if no activity is present, the radio is muted.

Repeater access allows you, the user, to selectively activate repeaters, which is especially useful in areas where repeaters are placed close together to ensure total coverage. Repeater access can operate automatically or manually and can be enabled through radio service software on a per channel basis. During automatic repeater access, a sidetone is generated to indicate that the repeater access code is being transmitted to discourage you from talking over the data transmission.

In radios programmed with manual repeater access, you activate the repeater access code transmission by pressing the Repeater Access Button (if programmed, see page 2); a sidetone is generated if programmed in the radio service software. On radios with MDC-1200™ signalling, when the repeater access is acknowledged, the radio will emit an acknowledge alert tone. This acknowledge alert tone can be disabled through radio service software.
