Squelch level settingThe squelch circuit mutes the received audio signal depend-
ing on the signal strength. The receiver has 9 squelch levels,
a continuously open setting and an automatic squelch setting.
➥While pushing and holding [SQL], rotate [DIAL] to select
the squelch level.
•“LEVEL 1” is loose squelch and “LEVEL 9” is tight squelch.
•“AUTO” indicates automatic level adjustment with a noise pulse
count system.
•“OPEN” indicates continuously open setting.

Monitor functionThis function is used to listen to weak signals without disturb-
ing the squelch setting or to open the squelch manually even
when mute functions such as the tone squelch are in use.
➥Push and hold [SQL] to monitor the operating frequency.•The 1st segment of the S-meter blinks.The [SQL] switch can be set to ‘sticky’operation in ex-
panded set mode. See page 43 for details.

Duplex operationDuplex communication uses 2 different frequencies for trans-
mitting and receiving. Generally, duplex is used in communi-
cation through a repeater, some utility communications, etc.
During duplex operation, the transmit station frequency is
shifted from the receive station frequency by the offset fre-
quency. Repeater information (offset frequency and shift di-
rection) can be programmed into memory channels. (p. 16)D D

General descriptionThe receiver has 1050 memory channels including 50 scan
edge memory channels (25 pairs) for storage of often-used
frequencies. And a total of 18 memory banks, A to H, J, L, N,
O to R, T, U and Y are available for usage by group, etc. Up
to 100 channels can be assigned into a bank.D D
Memory channel contentsThe following information can be programmed into memory
channels:
•Operating frequency (p. 9)
•Receive mode (p. 12)
•Duplex direction (DUP or –DUP) with an...
