• “
” indicator appears.
  • Squelch opens and audio is emitted from the speaker.
When [SQL] setting is too “tight,” squelch may not open for 
weak signals. To receive weaker signals, loosen the squelch. 
 
ANL function
While receiving, the ANL (Automatic Noise Limiter) function 
reduces noise components such as those that are caused 
by engine ignition systems while receiving.
• Push [ANL•

sired noise while receiving no signal.
q
   Push  [SQL•
WX-ALERT
], then rotate [DIAL] to select the 
squelch level.
  •  ‘SQL--0’ is open squelch and ‘SQL--24’ is tight squelch.

 Transmitting
 Set the desired frequency in COM band using [DIAL] or 
keypad.
  • COM band frequency range: 118.000–136.9917 MHz
Hold down [PTT] to transmit.
 
• “
” indicator appears.
 Speak into the microphone at a normal voice level.
  •  
DO NOT hold the transceiver too close to your mouth or speak 
too loudly. This may distort the signal.
Release [PTT] to return to receive.
CAUTION: Transmitting without an antenna may damage 
the transceiver.
NOTE: To prevent interference, listen on the frequency 
before transmitting. If the frequency is busy, wait until the 
channel is clear.
