14.10 VOX Selection
The PMR is capable of voice activated (VOX) transmission. In VOX mode, the radio will
transmit a signal when it is activated by your voice or other sound around you. VOX operation
is not recommended if you plan to use your radio in a noisy or windy environment.
•
When you use the PMR with the supplied earpiece (See chapter 15),
the VOX function will be disabled as soon as you plug in the
earpiece connector.
•
VOX mode will be disabled when you press the PTT - button
14.11 Squelch level selection
The adjustable Squelch allows you to optimise the radios sensitivity. It also allows you to
increase the sensitivity and receive weaker signals.
There are 4 decreasing levels of sensitivity. 1 is the most sensitive, for detecting the weakest
signals. 4 is the least sensitive, for hearing only stronger signals and cutting out
interference from weak signals.
At higher sensitivity settings it is normal to hear occasionally background static noise.
