76 Operating in conventional mode
The channel remains removed from the voting
group until you either select another voting group
or the radio is turned off and then on again.
The function key programmed to activate a voting
group may be programmed so that a short key press
activates voting and a long key press activates
nuisance delete.
Hearing faint and noisy signals
This feature is only applicable to analog channels.
Usually the radio’s squelch mute (known as ‘squelch’)
prevents you from hearing faint or noisy calls on a
channel. Without squelch, the radio’s speaker would
‘chatter’ in low signal strength areas.
On occasions when you want to hear everything that
is being said on a channel, even if it is hard to
understand, you can use the squelch override feature
to force the mute open.
Turning squelch override on and off
1 Press Menu and select Radio settings >
Functions > Squelch override.
(Depending on how your radio is programmed, you
may be able to press a function key to turn squelch
override on and off.)
2 Scroll to On (or Off) and press Select.
The message Squelch override activated
(or deactivated) appears in the display.
