3. When the channel is clear, press the PTT
switch to transmit. TX appears on the LCD
when you transmit. Hold the radio with the
microphone approximately two inches in
front of your mouth with the antenna at
approximately a 45-degree angle away from
your head. Speak in a clear, normal
conversational voice.
4. When you are finished speaking, release
the PTT switch and listen for an answer.
Using a Repeater £hannel
UHF CB Repeaters are used to retransmit or
relay your signal. Repeaters will extend the
range of your radio and overcome the
shielding effect caused by solid obstructions.
In normal Simplex operation, your radio
transmits on one particular frequency and
receives on that same frequency. If there is a
barrier (Le. Valley) that partially blocks your
transmitted signal, the probability of another
radio receiving the signal is very slim. Valleys,
tall buildings, metallic structures, ... etc., tend
to act as a screen between radios
