Setting the Auto Squelch The Squelch function is the radios signal filter. It determines when the radios speakers turn on, based on the strength of received signals. This avoids background noise and undesired signals constantly coming through the speakers.

The Auto Squelch feature has an Off setting and 9 preset squelch levels:

oF (off) - squelch is fully open to noise & signals. Equivalent to Monitor Mode 1 - max sensitivity (min squelch): Weak (distant) signals can open the squelch. 5 - med sensitivity (med squelch): Medium and strong signals can open the squelch. 9 - min sensitivity (max/tight squelch): Strong/nearby signals can open the squelch. It requires no adjustment.

1. Press [SQL]. The squelch setting flashes.

2. Press / to change the setting.

3. Press [SQL] again to store the setting.

Monitor The Monitor mode is basically the squelch function turned off. Press and hold [SQL] to open the squelch and receive all weak signals. Press and hold [SQL] to cancel.

Using Repeater Channels 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 that partially blocks your transmitted signal, the probability of another radio receiving the signal is very slim. Hills, tall buildings, metallic structures,...etc tend to act as a screen between radios.

Standard Operation without the aid of a Repeater station.

Operation

Operation with the aid of a Repeater Repeater Station (Duplex).

The signal coming from your radio is received by the Repeater Station and the re-transmitted at the same time on another channel. This operation is called Duplexing.

For example, CH01 on Duplex Mode will Receive on CH01 but Transmit on CH31 CH02 on Duplex Mode will Receive on CH02 but Transmit on CH32 etc...

If you transmit on CH01 Duplex mode, you are actually transmitting on CH31. The repeater station down-coverts your signal and retransmits on CH01.

Operating the UHF CB Radio in Duplex Mode 1. Select a channel you wish to use in Duplex (Repeater) Mode. Only channels 01 - 08 and 41 - 48 are available for Duplex.

2. Press and hold [MENU]. DUP icon appears, indicating the current channel is now in Duplex mode.

3. Press and hold [MENU] again on the repeater channel to disable Duplex mode.

NOTE

Check with your local Retailer or ACMA (AUS) / RSM (NZ) website for information on available repeaters.

Operation

Scanning The UHF CB Radio has a scanning feature that allows you to search for active channels automatically.

Furthermore, the UHF CB Radio provides two memory groups to scan from; Open Scan group (OS) and Group Scan group (GS), to give you flexibility. Channels can be added or removed from the memory groups, see p.20. Channels in memory are indicated by the M icon.

Press [SCAN] and scanning of the current memory group will start. SC flashes during scan.

The scan direction can be changed at any time by pressing / .

Open Scan (OS) Mode Allows continuous scanning of all channels. By default, all channels are stored in the Open Scan memory. During Scan, if an active channel is found, scanning will stop on that channel. If the received signal ceases, the unit will wait 3 seconds for the signal to return, otherwise scanning resumes.

After transmission in scan mode, the unit will wait 20 seconds for the signal to return, otherwise scanning resumes.

To skip the active channel, press / momentarily. To activate or deactivate SCAN, press [SCAN].

NOTE

If SCAN is deactivated while on an active channel, the UHF CB Radio will stay on that active channel. If no channels are active, the UHF CB Radio will reinstate the starting channel.

Operation

Group Scan (GS) Mode Allows scanning of channels added into the Group Scan memory. By default, the GS memory is empty and channels need to be added before GS scan can be activated.

To use GS Mode, press and hold [OS/GS]. GS (or OS) appears on the display.

Group Scan includes the accessory feature Priority Watch, which allows you to monitor the Instant Priority Channel while scanning (see p.15 for setting Instant Priority Channel and p.20 to turn Priority Watch On or Off).

If the Priority Channel becomes active the radio will stay on that channel for as long as the signal is present. If the received signal ceases, Priority Scanning continues after 3 seconds.

If scanning stops on a channel which is not a Priority Channel, the UHF CB Radio will continue monitoring the Priority Channel for activity while listening to the active one.

To activate or deactivate SCAN, press [SCAN].

NOTE

If GS Scanning is initiated when there are no channels programmed in GS memory, an error tone will be heard and scanning will not start (see Add/Remove Channels from OS/ GS Scan Memory, p.20).

UHF CB Channel Guidelines

UNIDEN X76 UHF CB Transceiver

NOTE

Always listen on a channel (or observe the receive signal level meter) to ensure it is not already being used before transmitting. Channels 5 and 35 are used for emergency channels. CTCSS and DCS will not operate on these channels. Please follow these guidelines for channel use in Australia: Channels 05 and 35 are Emergency Channels. Channel 11 is a Calling Channel. Channels 22 and 23 are for telemetry and telecommand applications, channels 61, 62 and 63 are for future use and TX is inhibited on these channels. General communication is accepted on all other channels with these guidelines: Channel 40 - road channel (Australia). Channels 01-08 (and 31-38), and Channels 41-48 (and 71-78) are repeater channels.

NOTE

Important information - 80 Channel UHF CB channel expansion To provide all users additional channel capacity within the UHF CB Band the ACMA have changed the wideband 40 channel use to narrowband channel use. This allows for additional channels to be added, up to 80 Channels. This simply means that the new narrowband radio you have purchased will have more channels than older radios. Please refer to the guidelines above and the channel chart for further channel information. A list of currently authorised channels can also be obtained from the ACMA website in Australia and the RSM website in New Zealand. Interference / Poor Audio When a new narrowband radio receives a signal from an older wideband radio the speech may sound loud. Narrowband radios operating on CH41 - CH80 may encounter interference from a nearby wideband radios transmitting on high power on an adjacent channel (frequency). When an older wideband radio receives a signal from a new narrowband radio the speech may sound quiet - the wideband radio user simply adjusts their radio volume for best performance. The above situations are not a fault of the radio but a symptom of mixed wideband and narrowband radios in current use. It is expected that as the number of older wideband radios in use drops this issue will be reduced.
