NOISE BLANKER OPERATIONA noise blanker feature is available in the low band (29-50 MHz) version of
the Orion radio which provides ignition noise filtering. The feature can be
enabled through either the pre-programmed menu selection or a pre-
programmed key on the control unit. The noise blanker state is remembered
through a power cycle and its state will be displayed at power-up (i.e., NB
ON or NB OFF). The menu selection or the pre-programmed key will
toggle the state of the noise blanker and display the new state.

out (2 seconds) then press m again to save the new noise blanker state
and return to normal operations.

TYPE 99 DECODE (Conventional Only)If the Type 99 Decode Option has been pre-programmed, individual
selective calling is possible. The radio can now decode individual, group or
supergroup paging calls. Two sets of Type 99 paging codes must be pre-
programmed into the radio. When the radio decodes an appropriate Type 99
code sequence, an alert tone and visual indicator is provided to the user. The
receiver then operates as a noise squelched unit until Type 99 is reset. Type
99 decode continues to operate during this noise squelched period. The
appropriate Type 99 alert tone will sound again if it detects a valid two-tone
sequence.
