Viking Portable 600 Radio Operating Manual
Conventional Mode Features
The Call Guard squelch feature eliminates distracting messages intended for others using 
the channel. This is done by using a subaudible tone or digital code to control the squelch. 
This tone or code is unique to a user or a group on that channel. This tone or code is 
transmitted with the voice signal but is not heard because it is in the subaudible range and 
is attenuated by a filter. Call Guard squelch must be used in both the transmitting and 
receiving radio to be functional.
5.4.1 Call Guard Squelch Enable / Disable
The Normal/Selective option button (if programmed) or menu parameter can be used to 
disable receive Call Guard squelch on analog channels or talkgroup ID code detection on 
P25 channels. When selective squelch is disabled, “Sq Normal” is flashed in the display, 
and when it is enabled, “Sq Select” is flashed.
When “Normal” is selected, the receiver unsquelches only if a carrier is detected. 
Scanning and Project 25 NAC detection are not disabled with this mode selected. The 
selected mode is in effect until it is manually changed again. Selecting another channel or 
cycling power does not reselect a default condition. There is a programmable option to 
display the monitor   icon when the “Normal” mode is selected.
5.4.2 Tone Call Guard Squelch
Tone-type Call Guard squelch uses subaudible CTCSS tones from 67-254.1 Hz. Although 
there are 42 tones assigned, those above 33 (210.7 Hz) are normally not used because of 
their close proximity to the voice band which starts at 300 Hz. In addition, tones 11 (97.4 
Hz), 39 (69.3 Hz), 40 (206.5 Hz), 41 229.1 Hz), and 42 (254.1 Hz) are normally not used 
because they may cause interference with adjacent tones.
A reverse burst is transmitted when the push-to-talk switch is released and also detected 
when calls are received. It is a 180-degree phase reversal for a period of time determined 
by the tone frequency, and it eliminates the squelch tail (noise burst) in the receiving radio. 
Both the transmitting and receiving radio must be equipped with this feature for it to be 
used. The radio can be programmed to turn OFF the reverse burst feature so that the 
squelch tail is not eliminated.
If the user would like to hear the squelch tail, then the reverse burst transmission can be 
disabled by programming.
