To send the Selcall Ident
With the required selcall ident displayed in the cAll to mode,
press and hold the CALL button for a few seconds until the
radio beeps. the selcall ident will be sent automatically and
the radio will return to normal operation.
Call acknowledge in Group mode
there is no call acknowledge when sending group calls. this is
to prevent all the radios in your group from trying to respond
to your selcall transmission at the same time.
Storing Group Call Idents
Group call idents can be stored in memory in the same way as
a standard selcall ident.
Receiving Group Calls
receiving a Group call is identical to receiving a normal selcall
except that the alarm sound is a loW tone beep instead of the
normal hiGh tone beep. the callers’ ident or AlPhA name
appears on the display in the usual way.

setting the squelCh sensitiVity
the sensitivity of the squelch to incoming signals can be set
to suit your operating environment. in quiet rural locations
a low setting will allow the weakest signals to be received
while still keeping the radio quiet between transmissions. in
city locations, a higher setting might be needed to ensure
the squelch remains closed when subjected to the higher
interference levels often encountered in high density areas.
the tX3340 has nine (9) preset squelch sensitivity settings
(labelled sQl-1 to sQl-9) that can be selected using the menu
function. the minimum squelch setting (sQl-1) is the most
sensitive and will allow the squelch to open on weak signals.
sQl-9 is the maximum setting, requiring very strong signals to
open the squelch. the factory default is sQl-3 which generally
provides reliable squelch operation for most applications.
To pre-select the Squelch sensitivity
1. select a channel between 1 and 80.
2. Press and hold the MENU key until the radio beeps. sQl-x
will be displayed where x is a number from 1 to 9.
3. Press the or keys increase or decrease the preset
squelch to the desired setting.
4. Press and hold the MENU key to store the new setting.
