The FM-4000 has a 30W Hailer that can be used with any 4 Ohm PA horn.
When in the Hail mode, the PA speaker listens back (acts as a microphone
and sends sound to the front panel speaker and the speaker MIC) through the
PA horn speaker which provides two-way communications through the PA horn
speaker.
NOTE
Before entering the PA or Fog mode, the FM-4000 receives on the last-
selected VHF channel to receive DSC calls.
NOTE
In some areas powerful AM broadcast stations may be heard when in
the listen-back mode. In this case change the speaker wire to 2-con-
ductor shielded audio cable. See section “8.5 ACCESSORY CABLE.”
