When activated, BCL prevents you from interfering with other parties who may be using the same
channel that you have selected. Pressing the PTT button while the channel is in use will cause your
transceiver to emit an alert tone and transmission will be inhibited (you cannot transmit). Release
the PTT button to stop the alert tone and return to receive mode.

buttons and then switch on the transceiver.
You can select between voice announcements in English or Chinese language. To change the

using the same frequency.
