Receiving Selcalls
When your radio receives its selcall Ident, an alarm will sound
to alert you to the call. Initially the alarm will beep urgently
at 2 beeps per second, then, if the call is not answered, it will
slow to around 1 beep every 3 seconds. It will then continue to
beep indefinitely until you cancel it.
In addition to the alarm, the symbol will appear on the
display along with the callers selcall Ident or AlPHA label to
inform you of the caller’s identity.

To return the call:
Press and hold the CALL button for a few seconds until the
radio beeps. the callers selcall will be sent back to the caller.
To cancel the alarm:
Briefly press the PTT switch. the alarm will be cancelled and
the channel will be open for normal communication. You can
now talk on the channel in the usual way.
qUIET MODE
the QuIEt mode mutes the receiver to prevent incoming
signals from being heard in the speaker until your selcall Ident
is received. In this way you can monitor a busy channel for
personal calls without being disturbed by unwanted signals. If
your selcall Ident is received, the QuIEt mode is cancelled and
all incoming signals are heard in the speaker.
Setting up the QUIET mode
to setup the QuIEt mode you must first ‘tag’ the channels
that you want to stay Quiet, then activate the QuIEt mode.
once the QuIEt mode is activated, tagged channels will
remain Quiet to all incoming signals unless your selcall Ident is
received. channels not tagged will remain open to all signals
and will operate normally.
To tag individual channels for QUIET operation:
1. select the required channel.
2. Press and hold QUIET until the radio beeps. ‘Q’ will appear
to the left of the channel number indicating the selected
channel is now tagged for Quiet operation.
