SUBAUDIBLE TONE OPERATION
■ Tone squelch
The tone squelch opens only when receiving a signal con-
taining a matching subaudible tone. You can silently wait for
calls from group members using the same tone.
➀ Set the operating frequency.
➁ Set the desired subaudible tone in set mode (see right).
➂ Push [MULTI] to enter subaudible tone mode.
•“T” appears; if “D” appears, push [MULTI(↕)] to select “T. ”
➃ Push [MULTI(↔)] (or rotate [DIAL]) one or more times until
“TSQL” appears; then push [VFO] to exit set mode.
➄ When the received signal includes a matching tone,
squelch opens and the signal can be heard.
• When the received signal’s tone does not match, tone squelch
does not open, however, the S-indicator shows signal strength.
• To open the squelch manually, push and hold [SQL].
➅ Operate the transceiver in the normal way.
➆ To cancel the tone squelch, repeat steps ➂ and ➃ so that
no tone indicator appears.
☞ NOTE: Some tone frequencies may receive interference
from adjacent tone frequencies.
✔ CONVENIENT
Store subaudible tone frequencies and tone squelch on/off
settings in memories (call) for easy recall.
