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 ‘BUSY’ 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 ie. some channels can be set to remain
Quiet while others can remain open to all
incoming signals.
TIP: Setting the QUIET mode is not mandatory.
You can still use SelCall on any channel whether
the QUIET mode is set or not.
SELCALL MEMORIES
Your TX4600 is fitted with one ‘Call’ memory
and 10 SelCall Ident memories. The 10 SelCall
Ident memories are used to store frequently used
SelCall Idents. The additional ‘Call’ memory holds
the Ident you last sent or received. The memories
can be viewed by briefly pressing the CALL
button. The initial memory displayed is the ‘Call’
memory. Pressing the channel selection keys
will step through the other 10 SelCall storage
memories in sequence. SelCall memories are
labelled ‘c0’ to ‘c9’.
