The compander can be programmed only for specific
Conventional FM channels. If it has been programmed by your
dealer, transmitted signals are compressed before being sent
and received signals are expanded when they arrive.
• Your dealer must set the compander for both the transmit side and
the receive side in order for the compander to operate.
• On K2/K3/K/K/K7 model transceivers, the icon appears on
the display for when the compader activates.
This background feature allows higher clarity of signals,
avoiding excessive noise and interference. This feature is not
used on digital channels, as they are not susceptible to noise
and interference.

(Bcl)
On Conventional channels, if BCL is set up by your dealer, you
will be unable to transmit on the channel if it is already in use.
Under these circumstances, use a different channel or wait
until the channel becomes free.
However, if BCL Override has also been programmed, you can
transmit over the current signal:
1 Press and hold the PTT switch.
• If the channel is already in use, a warning tone will sound.
2 Release the PTT switch, then press and hold the PTT
switch again within half a second.
3 Speak into the transceiver as you would during a normal
call.

On Trunking channels, if set up by your dealer, the transceiver
will indicate when it is out of range. When it can no longer
communicate with any site, an out of range tone sounds and
on K2/K3/K/K/K7 model transceivers, “OUT OF RANGE”
appears on the display.
