cancelled and all incoming signals are heard in the speaker.
setting up QuiEt mode
to setup quiEt mode you must first ‘tag’ the channels
that you want to stay quiet, then activate the quiEt mode.

remain open to all signals and will operate normally.

operation. ‘q’ will be displayed.

receiving signals in QuiEt mode
• if a normal signal is received on a quiEt channel, the
channel will appear busy (the ‘BusY’ 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 ‘q’) the signal will be heard in
the usual way.
• if a signal containing your selcall ident is received
on any channel (open or quiEt) quiEt mode will be
cancelled and the alarm will beep to alert you to the
call. in addition, the caller’s ident or AlPHA name will
be displayed. All channels will now be open for normal
transmission and reception.
if you wish to respond to the calling radio using selcall,
