Monitoring Features

Radio users who switch from analog to digital radios often
assume that the lack of static on a digital channel is an
indication that the radio is not working properly. This is not the
case.
This digital technology quiets the transmission by removing the "
noise" from the signal and allows only the clear voice or data
information to be heard.
Use the Monitor feature to make sure a channel is clear before
transmitting.
