BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT 
The Busy Channel Lockout feature applies 
only to those channels programmed with a 
receive Channel Guard value. When carrier 
activity is detected on the channel selected, 
the radio checks the receive Channel Guard 
value. If the proper Channel Guard value is 
present, the radio can transmit on that 
channel, even if the Squelch knob is in the 
Channel Guard position.  
If the radio detects an incorrect value or carrier 
activity only, the transmitter is disabled.  If an 
attempt is made to transmit, an alert tone will 
be generated and the display will show the 
word  BUSY until the channel becomes 
available or the PTT switch is released, 
whether the Squelch knob is in or out of the 
Channel Guard detent.  
Channels not programmed with a receive 
Channel Guard value can be used to transmit 
regardless of carrier activity.  
BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT OVERRIDE 
This mode operates in the same manner as 
Busy Channel Lockout except that the user 
can override and transmit by turning the 
Squelch knob off the Channel Guard detent. 
The transmitter is locked out only if the 
Squelch knob is set to the Channel Guard 
detent.

2.  Selective squelch is used for processing 
‘Group Calls’ and ‘Unit-to-Unit Calls’.  TGIDs 
are assigned on a per-channel basis. Users 
can be separated into Talk Groups with each 
group having its own TGID. Then, on 
channels programmed for Selective squelch, 
the incoming signal’s NAC and TGID must 
match the channels programmed receive 
NAC and TGID for the radio to unmute. The 
default TGID is 1.  The TGID value 65535 
($FFFF hex) is used to effect an “All Call”. If 
the radio receives a signal with a matching 
NAC and the TGID = 65535 ($FFFF hex), it 
will unmute. Also, if the radio’s programmed 
TGID is 65535 ($FFFF hex), it will open on 
any signal with a matching NAC, ignoring the 
incoming TGID.  A TGID = 0 means “no 
one”. If the radio is programmed with the 
TGID = 0, it will accept incoming group calls 
containing the “All Call” TGID, and correctly 
addressed Unit-to-Unit calls. 
CHANNEL GUARD RECEIVE 
1.  Turn power on by turning the Volume knob 
clockwise.   
2.  Select a Channel Guard channel by turning 
the Channel Selector knob.   
3.  Adjust volume by turning the Squelch knob 
clockwise until a noise is heard.  Set the 
volume to a comfortable level. 
4.  Set Channel Guard Mode
 
by turning the 
Squelch knob off (counterclockwise) into the 
Channel Guard position. A message will be 
heard only when the proper Channel Guard 
value is received.
