2. Now press and hold the QUIET key
until a low beep is heard. ‘Q’ will
disappear indicating this channel is no
longer tagged for Quiet operation.
To activate the QUIET mode
1. First, select a channel that has been
tagged for Quiet operation (you
cannot activate the Quiet mode unless
you have selected a ‘tagged’ channel).
‘Q’ will be displayed
2. Now briefly press the QUIET key.
‘QUIET’ will appear on the display.
Now all channels tagged for Quiet
operation will be operating in the
Quiet Mode.
To de-activate the QUIET mode
1. Select any channel that has been
tagged for Quiet operation. ‘Q’ and
‘QUIET’ will be displayed.
2. Briefly press the QUIET key. ‘QUIET’
will disappear from the display and all
channels tagged for Quiet operation
will now operate normally again.
Receiving signals in the 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 – 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 TX6200 will allow you to scan while
the QUIET mode is active. Using this
feature you can monitor a group of Quiet
channels or a combination of Quiet and
Open channels.
To scan in the QUIET mode
1. Briefly press the F key followed
immediately by the OS/GS key to
select the required Scan group.
2. Select the channels you wish to scan
and store them in the Scan memory.
3. From those channels, select the ones
you wish to remain Quiet and tag each
one for QUIET operation.
4. Press the SCAN key. The radio will
begin scanning and ‘SCAN’ will
be displayed.
5. Now, briefly press the QUIET key
to activate the QUIET Mode. The
radio will then be 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 scanning 5 seconds after the
channel becomes clear. (If you were
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.
