Range

Your range will vary depending on terrain and conditions.

In at, open country your radio will

operate at maximum range.

Buildings and foliage in the path of the

signal can reduce the range of the radio.

Dense foliage and hilly terrain will further

reduce the range of the radio.

On FRS Channels 8 through 14, your radio

automatically switches to low power, which

will limit the range the radio can communicate.

Staying in touch with your family and friends is convenient

and easy when using your microTALK

radio. Some of the

many uses you will discover include:

Communicating with others while hiking, biking, and working; keeping track

of family and friends at a crowded public event; checking with travel

companions in another car; talking with neighbors; arranging meeting spots

with others while shopping at the mall.

Secure your microTALK

radio while on the go.

Carrying your microTALK

radio with you is easy when

using the belt clip or optional wrist strap.

The belt clip easily attaches to your belt, purse, or

backpack.

Privacy Codes

Your microTALK

radio incorporates two advanced coded squelch

systems that can help to reduce interference from other users

on any given channel. CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch

System) provides 38 privacy codes and DCS (Digitally Coded Squelch)

provides 83 privacy codes. This provides a total of 121 Privacy

Codes. Either system can be used on all channels, but both systems

cannot be used on the same channel at the same time.

To successfully communicate using a privacy code, both

the sending and receiving radios must be tuned to the same

channel and to the same privacy code system (CTCSS or DCS)

and privacy code number. Each channel will remember the

last privacy code system and number you select.

The privacy code 00 is not a privacy code, but allows all

signals to be heard on a channel that is set to 00 on both

the CTCSS and DCS systems.
