Busy Lock Out (BL) Mode (Advanced Mode only)
Busy Channel Lock Out prevents you from transmitting when another signal
is present. Three modes are available:
a. Carrier only (CA)
This will prevent your radio from transmitting when a signal is present on the
same channel, regardless of the privacy code.
b. Correct Tone (CT)
This will prevent your radio from transmitting when a signal is present on the
same channel, using the same privacy code as your current setting.
c. Different Tone (DT)
This will prevent your radio from transmitting when a signal is present on the
same channel, using a different privacy code setting.
To activate and select the BCLO mode, press the MODE button until the
BCLO icon and current setting will flash. Use the UP or DOWN button to
change the setting. Press PTT or MODE or wait for 5 seconds to store your
choice. A setting of “ Off “ will de-activate this mode.
The BCLO icon will appear when BCLO mode is active.
Priority Channel Mode (Advanced Mode only)
A 'Quick Access' Priority Channel is available by briefly pressing the
KEYPAD LOCK button. This can be used as a reserve or secondary
channel.
To program a Priority Channel, press the MODE button until the Priority
Channel icon and current channel setting will flash. Use the UP or DOWN
button to change the channel setting. Press PTT or MODE or wait for 5
seconds to store your choice.
The Priority Channel icon will appear when the Priority Channel is selected.
Priority Channel Scan Time
When the Priority Channel is selected, pressing the SCAN button toggles the
Priority Channel scan.
Priority Channel scan is similar to channel scanning, however the priority
channel is scanned in addition to the other channels. You can select how
often the priority channel is checked according to your needs.
