Detailed Feature Explanations

To improve your experience, it's helpful to understand these key settings:

* SQUELCH LEVEL
Mutes the speaker when no signals are present, so you only hear sound when someone is transmitting. This helps eliminate background static.

* TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)
Limits the length of a single transmission to prevent accidental long broadcasts that could cause thermal damage to the radio.
 
* VOX (Voice Operated Transmit)
Eliminates the need to press the PTT key. The transmitter is keyed automatically when the VOX circuit senses you are speaking into the microphone.
 
* EMERGENCY ALARM
When the user is in an emergency situation, a single press of the alarm button will immediately activate the intercom to signal for help.

* BUSY CHANNEL LOCK-OUT (BCL)
Prevents you from transmitting on a channel if a signal is already present, avoiding talking over another person's transmission.
 
* MONITOR
When no signal is being received, Press and Hold the MONI. This is helpful for adjusting volume level and receiving weak signals.
 
* BUSY CHANNEL LOCK-OUT (BCL)
BCL prevents you from transmitting on a channel if a signal is present. Pressing the PTT switch while a channel is in use will emit an alert tone and inhibit the transmitter.
 
* CTCSS / DCS 
These sub-audible tones allow you to ignore unwanted calls from others on the same frequency. It only relieves you from listening to unwanted conversations; it does not make your conversation private.
