Signal Strength Indicator and Channel Busy
Indicators
When there is activity on a frequency the radio
displays the strength indicator icon
while
radio LED blinks faster. When there is activity
on the same frequency and code as your radio
(your radio is receiving), the radio signal
strength icon can change from 1 (weakest) to 6
(strongest) depending on the radio reception
coverage. This can help determine when a
radio is moving out of range.
Note: Obstacles that block the signal path may
affect the strength of the incoming signal.
TALK RANGE
To talk with someone on your two-way radio,
the channel, frequency, and interference
eliminator code must be the same on both
radios, which will depend on the stored profile
that has been preprogrammed on the radio:
1. Channel: Current channel that the radio is
using, depending upon radio model.
