transmission
To communicate, all radios in your group must be set to the same channel.
Briefly press the Function key 1 to enable the Monitor feature in order to
make sure that the frequency is not busy, then press the Ptt button.
For a maximum clarity, hold the device at a distance of about 4/10 cm.
Release the Ptt key to receive.
Only one user at a time can talk during radio communications. Therefore,
it is important not to transmit when you are receiving a communication and
use the transmission mode sparingly to allow other users to use the feature.
Transmission consumes a significant amount of energy and should therefore
be used sparingly to prolong the battery life.
If you are unable to contact a station that you have no problems in receiving,
the station may be using CTCSS tones or DCS codes.
Monitor
The Monitor feature is for temporarily excluding (opening) the Squelch, in
order to listen to signals that are too weak to keep the Squelch permanently
opened.
Briefly press the Function key 1 to enable such function.
Scan
Keep pressed the Function key 2 for about 4 sec. to enable the SCAN fun-
ction: the radio will scan all channels from the channel in use.
Whenever any signal is detected, the radio will suspend the Scan; to resume
scanning, press again the Ptt button.
Vox
G11 enables hands free conversations through the VOX function: just speak
in the direction of the microphone and the communication will be automati-
cally activated.
The VOX sensitivity can be adjusted in 10 different levels ( 0,1,2,3…9) trough
the programming software:
0 means that the VOX is turned off, 1 is the lowest VOX sensitivity level and
9 is the highest one.
By default, the VOX sensitivity of G11 is set on level 5.
To activate the VOX feature, keep pressed for about 4 sec. the Function
key1.
Squelch
The Squelch function suppresses noises on free channels and allows to re-
ceive even weak signals.
G11 has 10 different Squelch levels settable by programming software: 0
means that the Squelch is turned off; from level 1 to level 9 you will have
different levels of noise reduction. The higher is the level, the louder will be
the Squelch.
By default, the Squelch level of G11 is set on level 5.
Make sure you do not set an excessively high squelch level because in this
case you may not be able to receive weaker signals. On the other hand an
excessively low Squelch value could enable the Squelch even when no si-
gnals are present.
Squelch must always be adjusted when no signals are present.
The Time Out timer is settable from 30 sec to 270 sec. only through the pro-
gramming software.
This feature is disabled by default.
Roger Beep (end of transmission tone)
When the Ptt button is released, the radio will beep to confirm to other users
that you’ve finished your transmission and that they can begin to speak.
Beep tone
This function permit you to produce a beep tone every time you press a button.
