1.1 Front Panel Controls and Indicators
1.1.1 Monitor Volume
The Mon. Volume control is used to adjust the volume of the internal loudspeaker and
any external speaker connected to the test socket. It does not effect the level of
the 600 Ohm line output level, nor the direct audio output level.
1.1.2 Monitor Squelch
The MON. SQ. switch allows the normal squelch functions controlling the monitor
output to be disabled. When the switch is in the MON. SQ. position the audio
at the monitor speaker is controlled by the noise detector. The CTCSS, carrier,
tone, DCS, and external squelch functions will not stop the audio from being
broadcast by the speaker. This can be useful when you are trying to trace the
source of on channel interference or when setting the noise squelch threshold.
The audio from the
600 Ohm line output, and the direct audio output, is not
effected by the switch position.
1.1.3 N.SQ
The N.SQ trimpot is used to set the noise squelch sensitivity. Use the following
procedure to set the noise squelch to maximum sensitivity.
(a) Set the toggle switch to the MON.SQ. position and set the MON VOLUME
control to 9 o'clock.
(b) Turn the N.SQ.
adjustment counter clockwise until the squelch opens and noise is
heard from the speaker. Adjust the VOLUME to a comfortable listening level.
(c) In the absence of any on channel signal,
Turn the N.SQ.
screw clockwise until the
until the noise in the speaker is muted.
