bypassing or “talking around” the repeater. This function may be used on
any channel that is programmed to a frequency pair (repeater channel).

Press the [CG] button to disable or enable Channel Guard operation on
analog channels. An arrow on the display points to the CG button when
Channel Guard is disabled. When Channel Guard is enabled, a message is
heard only when the proper Channel Guard is received. Transmit Channel
Guard generation is unaffected. The CG button may also be used to override
Busy Channel Lockout, if Busy Channel Override is installed.

LPW button.
