Sounding
Sounding is used to test the quality of the channels and propagation paths of all
channels in the net.
The sounding signal is normally repeated automatically, at regular intervals. A
complete round of sounding messages, or "sounding cycle" can be programmed to
30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes, or can be set to OFF.
Sounding can also be initiated manually whenever necessary, even if automatic
sounding is enabled.

1. Press LQA (F2) to enter the LQA menu.
