to add or display labels, your radio must be in the AlPHA
mode. to switch between AlPHA mode and numErIc mode,
briefly press the F key followed by the alPHa key. ‘AlPHA’
or ‘numEr’ will be displayed briefly to the left of the channel
display to indicate the selected mode.
The QUiET Mode
Your radio can be set to monitor signals on a busy channel
but remain QuIEt unless it receives its own selcall Ident.
In this way, you won’t be disturbed unless someone calls
you. when your selcall Ident is received, the QuIEt mode is
deactivated and an alarm sounds to alert you to the call. You
can then converse normally on the channel. to use the QuIEt
mode, refer to the QuIEt mode section further below.
NOTE: the QuIEt mode overrides the normal squelch system
to ensure that the radio remains quiet even when the channel
is busy. when QuIEt is set, you may see the icon appear
on the display indicating the channel is being used. However,
unless someone transmits your selcall Ident, nothing will be
heard in the speaker.
You can activate the QuIEt mode on individual channels i.e.
some channels can be set to remain Quiet while others can
remain open to all incoming signals.
