TIME-OUT TIMER
The radio has a built-in time-out timer that automatically limits transmissions to a maximum of 3
minutes of continuous operation. This feature is required by the ACMA to prevent accidental blocking
of the frequency should your PTT become jammed or be otherwise pressed accidentally.
When the time-out timer activates, the transmission will stop, the radio will emit a long beep and the
symbol will flash continuously. Normal operation will be restored once the PTT is released.
SILENT SQUELCH TAIL
The Squelch tail is the short burst of noise that is heard in the speaker at the end of a transmission
before the Squelch closes.
To some it is a reassuring confirmation that it is their turn to transmit but in some applications it may
be an annoyance especially when listening through an earpiece or headphones.
The Silent Squelch Tail function removes this Squelch tail, reducing it to a faint click as the Squelch
closes.
To enable or disable the Silent Squelch Tail:
1. Press and hold the key to enter the Menu.
2. Press the key repeatedly until ‘SSTxx’ is displayed (where xx = ON or OF).
3. Press the key to enable the Silent Squelch Tail. SSTON will be displayed and the Squelch tail
will now be silent.
4. Press the key to disable the Silent Squelch Tail. SSTOF will be displayed and the Squelch tail
will be restored.
5. Press the PTT to exit the Menu.
KEY BEEPS

To set the key beep volume level.

2. Press the key repeatedly until ‘BEEPx’ appears (where x is a value from 0-9).
3. Press the key to increase the beep level or the key to decrease the beep level. The mini-
mum audible level is ‘BEEP1’ and the maximum level is ‘BEEP9’.
4. To disable the keypad beeps select ‘BEEP0’.
5. Press the PTT to exit.
VOICE SCRAMBLER
Your radio incorporates a simple voice scrambler using band inversion. The scrambler is compatible with
other GME radios and with the majority of scramblers used by other manufacturers, allowing you to
enjoy scrambled communications with owners of both GME and non-GME radios.
