Muting the transceiver
When the transceiver is set to a channel or is scanning channels, and mute is switched
off, you hear on-air signals on each channel. If you do not want to listen to this, you
can silence the transceiver by switching mute on.
You can set the mute to open when a voice signal is detected (Voice mute V), or only
when a call addressed to your station is received (Selcall mute S). If you have a digital
voice encryptor fitted and active, you can also set the mute to open only when a
digitally encrypted voice signal is detected (Digital Voice mute D).
Mute automatically comes on when the transceiver starts scanning. The transceiver
listens for signals according to what is set in Settings > Scan Mute.
If the scan is paused due to voice being detected, the length of time that the transceiver
holds the pause with mute off is set in Settings > Scan Voice Max Pause and
Scan Voice Extend. Scanning only resumes automatically if the transceiver is set
to start scanning after a timeout period.
