5-TONE SIGNALLING
5-Tone Signalling is enabled or disabled by your dealer.  This
function opens the squelch only when the transceiver receives
the 5 tones programmed in your transceiver, in succession.
Transceivers that do not transmit the correct tones will not be
heard.
Your dealer may also activate Group Call for your transceiver.

Your dealer can program the squelch to close again after a
specific time period elapses.  The LED indicator flashes orange
(2 seconds) at this time.

acknowledgment signal is returned to the calling station.
If Tone Alert for 5-Tone Signalling is programmed, an alert tone
will sound when the correct tones are received.
