5.5 Button MON (Monitor)

The Monitor button is for temporarily excluding (opening) the squelch, in order to listen to signals
that are too weak to keep the squelch permanently opened. By excluding the squelch you will

function, so as to listen to all traffic on the selected channel, keep pressed the MON/SCAN[18]
button for about 2 seconds. Keep pressed the button MON/SCAN[18] for about 2 seconds to
