will disappear from the display and all channels tagged for Quiet

operation will now be open to all incoming signals.

Receiving signals in the QUIET mode

• If a normal signal is received on a QUIET channel, the channel will appear busy (the indicator

will be visible) but no sound will be heard from the speaker. This means you will not be
disturbed by the signal.

• If a normal signal is received on an Open channel (one that is not tagged with

) the signal

will be heard in the usual way.

If a signal containing your SelCall Ident is received on any channel – Open or QUIET – the QUIET mode
will be cancelled and the alarm will beep to alert you to the call. In addition, the callers Ident or ALPHA
name will be displayed. All channels will now be open for normal transmission and reception.

SCANNING IN THE QUIET MODE

The TX6500S will allow you to scan while in the QUIET mode. Using this feature you can monitor a
group of Quiet channels or a combination of Quiet and Open channels.

OTE: Your radio cannot receive SelCalls while scanning with Net-scan. If you need to scan in the

quiet mode please use either Open or Group scan.

To scan in the QUIET mode

1. Briefly press the

key followed immediately by the

key to select the required Scan group

(OS or GS only).

2. Select the channels you wish to scan and hold the

key to store them into memory (

displayed).

3. From these channels, select the ones you wish to remain Quiet and hold the

key to tag them

for QUIET operation (

is displayed).

4. Press the

key. The radio will begin scanning and

will animate on the display.

5. Now, briefly press the

key to activate the QUIET Mode. The

icon will appear to confirm

the radio is scanning in the QUIET mode.

Receiving signals while scanning in the QUIET mode

• If a normal signal is received on an open channel, scanning will pause while the channel is

busy and will resume 5 seconds after the channel becomes clear. (If you are scanning in
Group Scan mode, the radio may switch between the open channel and the Priority channel –
this is normal).

• If a normal signal is received on a Quiet channel but your SelCall Ident is not detected, the signal

will be ignored and scanning will continue.

• If a signal containing your SelCall Ident is received on any channel (either Open or Quiet),

the scanning and QUIET modes will be cancelled and the receiver will stay on that channel.
The alarm will then beep to alert you to the call and the callers Ident or ALPHA Name will be
displayed. The channel will now be open for normal communications.

NOTE:

If the

icon is visible when scanning stops, the channel is a quiet channel. If the

is not

visible, the channel is a normal channel.

TIP:

To ensure reliable SelCall detection when scanning in the Open Scan mode, it is recommended that

you restrict the number of channels in the Scan group to less than 20.
