5.1.2 Manual Channel Monitoring
The automatic monitoring may occasionally disable the transmitter when the channel is 
not in use, such as if the repeater has extended hang time. In this case, you may not want to 
use automatic monitoring, but monitor the channel manually as follows:
Busy Indicator - With scanning disabled, note if the multi-function indicator on the 
front panel is steady green. If it is steady green, a carrier is being detected, so the 
channel may be busy (see Monitor Mode, following). If it is not, the channel is not 
being used and a call can be transmitted. 
Monitor Mode - There may be times when a busy condition is indicated even though 
no one is using the channel. Monitoring should then be performed by disabling Call 
Guard squelch (or talkgroup ID detect on Project 25 channels). This is usually done by 
selecting the Monitor Mode (see following) or by the Normal/Selective option button or 
menu parameter (see Section 5.4.6, "Selective Squelch Code Select (CTCSS / DCS / 
NAC)").
5.2
Monitor Mode
The monitor mode unsquelches the receiver and monitors the channel even if a carrier is 
not detected. Other features of this mode are as follows:
• Call Guard (CTCSS/DCS) squelch is disabled on analog channels and NAC and 
talkgroup ID detect are disabled on P25 (conventional) channels.
• Signaling-dependent Busy Channel Lockout options for Tone/NAC and P25 status are 
overridden (see next section). (Noise option is not overridden: Monitor mode disables 
the protocol-signaling events that the Busy Channel Lockout option Tone/NAC/Status 
depend on, but not carrier events.)
• Scanning temporarily halts.
The Monitor Mode operates as follows:
To monitor the transmit frequency for activity before transmitting, briefly press the 
Monitor option button or select the Monitor menu “Tx Channel” parameter. The   
icon is then displayed to indicate the monitor mode. The receiver unsquelches and noise 
is heard even if carrier not present.
To monitor the receive frequency instead, press and hold the Monitor option button 
until a tone sounds (based on programming). This can be used, for example, to improve 
reception if intermittent squelching is making a weak message difficult to understand.
To disable the monitor mode and return to normal operation, press the Monitor option 
button again or select the Monitor menu “Off” parameter.
