Checking that the channel is
clear
Monitor allows you to override some or all of the
radio’s mutes, allowing you to hear if there is any
traffic (including talkgroup and individual calls) on a
channel.
For analog channels, this is so that you can check that
the channel is clear before you make a call.
Turning monitor on and off
1 Press Menu and select Radio settings > Functions
> Monitor.
(Depending on how your radio is programmed, you
may be able to press a function key to toggle
monitor on and off.)
2 Scroll to
On (or Off) and press Select.
While monitor is active, appears in the display.
Using the radio in different
repeater areas
Your radio may have a group of channels
programmed as a voting group. The channels in the
voting group all carry the same traffic, but from
different repeaters. As your radio moves in and out of
different repeater coverage areas, the best
communication channel is automatically selected for
you to use.
This channel is known as the ‘home’ channel, and
may be the channel you make and receive calls on.
While voting is active, appears in the display.
